Stan Daniels (Music and Lyrics) was born in Toronto, Canada. He wrote music and lyrics for a musical of Moliere’s Le Misanthrope, presented by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and for an African-American Cinderella musical, Cindy, produced by ABC. He also wrote the score for EveryTime I See You, a musical based on Bernard Slade’s Same Time Next Year, which opened slightly out-of-town - in Budapest, Hungary - where it ran for two years (in Hungarian). In his television career, he has received eight Emmys for writing and producing The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Taxi (he was also one of the creators of Taxi). His TV work has also garnered three Golden Globes, two Humanitas prizes, a Writer’s Guild of America Award, and a Cable Ace award. He has created or co-created Phyllis and Roc, among others. Other writing and producing credits include the HBO mini-series Glory, Glory (Houston International Film Festival Gold Prize winner), For Richer Or Poorer (Jack Lemmon) and The Substitute Wife (Farah Fawcett). He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Alene, who has honored him with her constant affection to make up for the awards he was nominated for but didn’t win (and thinks he should have).
