BERNARD SLADE, born in Toronto, Canada in 1930, is one of Hollywood’s most prolific writers. After writing over twenty one-hour television shows for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, he moved with his family to Los Angeles, where he began his career in Hollywood as a writer and story editor on Bewitched, (where he introduced the world to Aunt Clara).

He has created eight television series: Love On A Rooftop, The Flying Nun, The Partridge Family, Getting Together, Bridget Loves Bernie, Mr. Deeds Goes To Town, The Girl With Something Extra, and Good Heavens. As a Broadway playwright, he made his debut writing Same Time Next Year, which was nominated for a Tony Award, won a Drama Desk Award and has been presented in over 40 languages worldwide. His screenplay for the movie was nominated for an Academy Award.

His next play, Tribute, starred Jack Lemmon on both stage and screen. Other plays include Romantic Comedy, Special Occasions, Fatal Attraction, An Act of the Imagination, Return Engagements, Every Time I See You, and a sequel to Same Time Next Year, titled Same Time, Another Year.
