Hollywood Agent Bernie Brillstein Dies

Bernie Brillstein, a Hollywood talent agent, manager, producer and studio head who over half a century guided the careers of “Saturday Night Live” comedians, has sadly passed away.

He was 77.

Brillstein died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Thursday night at a Los Angeles hospital, according to information provided Friday by Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

“He had a soul that is often missing in the business, which has taken on much more of a corporate tone,” said Jon Liebman, chief executive officer of Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

So Sad.  RIP Bernie!
