Jack Hanrahan (1933 – April 28, 2008) was an American Emmy Award-winning comedy writer. == Biography == Born January 16, 1933 in Cleveland, Ohio, he began writing cartoons for the ''Cleveland Press''. After that, he moved on to Hollywood, California and continued his writing career with work on ''Get Smart''. Then, in 1968, he won an Emmy for his work on ''Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In''. Following this, he moved on to ''Marcus Welby, M.D.'', ''The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour'', ''Police Woman'', ''The Waltons'', and ''CHiPs''. In the 1980s and '90s, he worked on a scattering of television shows and movies, including co-writing the ''Super Mario World'' episode "The Wheel Thing" and serving as a main writer for the second season (1985–86) of the cartoon series ''Inspector Gadget'', as well as writing & co-writing shorts for the 1980 revival of ''Tom & Jerry''. Hanrahan teamed-up for a while with Eleanor Burian-Mohr and wrote for many animation shows. He also co-starred in the motion picture 'Up Your Alley' in 1988 for writer/director, Bob Logan. Hanrahan left Beverly Hills for Eureka in northern California in 1992. After losing his wife in 2004, he was stricken with grief. He would still entertain at charity events and retirement homes but never found his way back to happiness. In 2006, he was evicted following a garage fire and all of his possessions, including his Emmy, were seized by his landlord. He began to wander the streets. Jack Riley, an old friend, tried to help Hanrahan, but was unsuccessful. After friends in Eureka bought him a bus ticket, he returned to his hometown of Cleveland, where he remained homeless until his death. Hanrahan was featured on the front page of ''The Plain Dealer'' (Cleveland, Ohio) on March 22, 2007, detailing his homelessness. He died on April 28, 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jack Hanrahan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
