Montecito, CA—Writer and producer Gary David Goldberg died Saturday from brain cancer. He was 68.

Goldberg is most famous for creating the hit NBC series, “Family Ties” in 1982, which launched the career of Michael J. Fox. He created another show with Fox, “Spin City” which ran from 1996 to 2002, though Fox left the show in 2000 due to Parkinson’s Disease.

He also produced feature films as well, including “Dad,” “Bye Bye Love,” “RECOiL” and “Must Love Dogs.”

Goldberg won two Emmy Awards, one for his writing work on “Lou Grant” in 1979 and another for his work on “Family Ties” in 1987. He also won Writers Guild of America Awards in 1979, 1988, 1998 and 2010.

He is survived by his wife, Diana Meehan, two daughters, Shana Silveri and Cailin Goldberg-Meehan and three grandchildren. Continue reading →
