Talk:David Freedman

message: There have been several David Freedmans and two of them worked as gag writers. The first is quite dead now but when he was alive he worked on films like Ziegfeld Follies. The second worked with Danny Baker, Lee Hurst and in a writing partnership with Alan Gilbey. He still lives and works in the UK where he writes, script edits, directs and produces within the ever struggling but always busy UK animation industry. He has worked on shows as various as Mr Hell, Bounty Hamster, Foxbusters, Bob & Margaret, Legend Of The Dragon and King Arthur's Disasters. His blog is http://www.sling-shot.biz/

: There is an article on the person you mentioned, David Freedman (screenwriter). It was started in 2010, long after you wrote the comment. Dovid (talk) 16:40, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

message: Hi,
Although I had never heard of David Freedman before, I wrote "Romanian-born American playwright" instead of the previous "Romanian playwright", because I think it's ridiculous to say about a guy born in 1898 and emigrated in 1900, when he was 2 (!!!) that he was "Romanian" (not to mention the fact that he was Jewish and from a territory that in 1898 belonged to Russia).
