Charles Shyer, known for his collaborations with Nancy Meyers and directing hits like 'Father of the Bride' and 'Baby Boom,' has passed away at 83.
Charles Shyer , who earned an Oscar nomination for co-writing ' Private Benjamin ' and directed hit movies including 'Father of the Bride' and ' Baby Boom ,' has died. He was 83. On Saturday, a representative for Shyer confirmed the filmmaker's death to Fox News Digital.
His daughter Hallie Meyers-Shyer, whom he shared with his former frequent collaborator and ex-wife Nancy Meyers, told the Hollywood Reporter that her father passed away Friday at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center following a brief illness. 'It’s with an indescribably heavy heart that we share the news of our beloved father, Charles Shyer’s passing,' the Meyers-Shyer family wrote in a statement shared with Deadline. They continued, 'His loss leaves an unfillable hole in our lives, but his legacy lives on through his children and the five decades of wonderful work he’s left behind. We honor the extraordinary life he led and know there will never be another quite like him.' 'PRIVATE BENJAMIN' ACTRESS EILEEN BRENNAN DIES AT 80 In 1979, Shyer co-wrote the comedy 'Private Benjamin' with Meyers and screenwriter Harvey Miller, which the trio co-produced with the movie's star, Goldie Hawn. The film became a major box office success with Shyer, Meyers and Miller's script receiving the Writer's Guild of America Award for best original comedy and an Academy Award nomination for best original screenplay. Hawn's performance earned her a best actress Oscar nomination, while the late Eileen Brennen earned an Academy Award nod for best supporting actress. 'Private Benjamin' premiered in 1980, and Shyer and Meyers tied the knot in Rome that same year. The former couple went on to team up again for the 1984 comedy-drama 'Irreconcilable Differences,' starring Ryan O'Neal, Shelley Long and Drew Barrymore. Shyer made his directorial debut with the film, which the duo co-wrote. Shyer and Meyers' next collaboration was the 1987 romantic comedy, 'Baby Boom,' which starred Diane Keato
