Life

Goldstein, who was born in the ever-growing New York City in the fall of 1915, began his career as a teacher after graduating from Columbia University . Ruth Goldstein's father and husband of five taught primarily at Tilden High School in Brooklyn, New York . Only gradually did he get into the film and television business, and so from the beginning of the 1950s he began working on well-known productions. He was in 1950 next to Frank Galen , Keith Fowler and Hal Goodman as a screenwriter of Let's Join Joanie , an unpublished at that time and on DVD or via the now Internet Archive available pilot , who as a pioneer for the soon-produced television series I Married Joan should be considered committed. The following year he worked on an episode of The Colgate Comedy Hour on the script and was hired from the same year up to and including 1953 in three episodes of The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show as a screenwriter. In addition to the show with George Burns and Gracie Allen , Goldstein was also active as a screenwriter for I Married Joan from 1953 . In the series with Joan Davis in the lead role, he was also considered one of the inventors and worked as a screenwriter in a total of seven episodes until 1955.

Goldstein began his most prestigious work in 1954 when he was brought on board as a screenwriter for The Red Skelton Show . He then worked for the multi-award-winning and award-nominated television series for years and wrote the script for a total of 107 episodes, which made him one of the most successful scriptwriters in the series. Most of the episodes in which Goldstein had worked on the script were only produced or broadcast after his death. The 107 episodes in which he participated refers to a period from 1954 to 1961. After he delivered the story of the episode in an episode of Screen Director's Playhouse in 1956 , he also wrote the story of Huyendo del halcón and was in a certain way also active as a screenwriter in the film, which was only released in 1966. The Spanish-American film was produced by Celcil Barke , with whom Goldstein had already worked on The Red Skelton Show , among others .

In addition, Goldstein, who was known as an avid soccer player in his spare time, is also considered the scriptwriter of a television show with Eddie Cantor , where he was probably engaged from 1946 to 1949. After Goldstein fell ill with incurable cancer , he died on May 14, 1959 at the age of 43 in California . Goldstein himself did not know anything about his illness because his doctors did not want to tell him that he did not have long to live; instead, they told his wife. As his chest pain became more acute, his doctors told him that he had arthritis of the sternum or that one of his lungs had become detached from the diaphragm (diaphragm). By the end of the day, Goldstein was so weak that he could no longer drive to work alone, which is why he drove to the CBS station most of the time from his colleague Dave O'Brien , who was also a scriptwriter for The Red Skelton Show had to become.
