Paddy Chayefsky is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — Only solo writer with three screenwriting Academy Awards: Marty, The Hospital, Network
Chayefsky is the only person to have won three solo screenwriting Academy Awards — for Marty (1955), The Hospital (1971) and Network (1976) — the last a prophetic satire of television. He was one of the defining writers of American drama's 'Golden Age.' Born to a Russian Jewish immigrant family, he was Jewish; his nickname 'Paddy' arose during his army service.
