Rick Ludwin Collection 1981-2008

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/263091545

The majority of the Rick Ludwin Collection focuses primarily on NBC TV primetime and late-night programming from the 1980s and 1990s, with several items from more recent years. Included in the collection are historical narratives of broadcast radio and television and the history of NBC, including various mergers and acquisitions over the years. Fifteen original Seinfeld table scripts are included here; most of which were working copies, reflecting the use of multi-colored pages to highlight draft revisions. Other scripts are contained here--some for primetime, some for broadcast specials such as the landmark three-hour broadcast of SNL'S 25th Anniversary. Several of the scripts include hand notes, presumed to be those of Rick Ludwin. Other documents in this collection are industry-specific, including external as well as internal program development reports, annual independent seasonal reviews (covering all major networks), ratings reports, etc. There are also several awards program catalogs for events ranging from The Emmys to The 23rd American Film Institute Life Achievement Award--given to Steven Spielberg. There are also two books commemorating the 15th and 20th anniversaries of The Comedy Store, which opened its doors on the Sunset Strip in 1972. These provide biographical and anecdotal information and photographs of the people who have and continue to impact a broad sector within the American entertainment industry.
