Barry's Literary Work

My uncle, at one point in his life, wrote a pilot intended to become a TV series. The script, he named "Our Days At M.A.D.". His work was stolen, and turned into the movie "Fame". Chris Gore was possibly the man who stole the idea. Fame was basically the story of Our Days At M.A.D., only with the character names changed and perhaps other small alterations. Barry, along with his agent, Ruth Webb, proceeded to recover the script before it became a movie. They were unsuccessful, mainly because Barry was getting sick at the time with AIDS. Of course, at that time, no one knew really that AIDS existed. One day I will pursue Fame somehow and make Our Days At M.A.D. a TV series once and for all. The only problem with pursuing Fame, is that Chris Gore is dead. Barry is dead.

The Great Brooklynite Actor

Barry Robins, Jan 12, 1945 - Apr 1, 1986, was (and truly still is) a famous actor. A man of pure talent, he starred in movies, including Stanley Kramer's production of "Bless the Beasts & Children", was a brilliant pianist, an excellent writer, and yes, Barry WAS on Broadway. His works should never be forgotten. After Barry's unfortunate death in 1986, his fame began to diminish, and now there are few people I know who have ever heard of the actor Barry Robins. I will do my best to bring back the memory of this amazing person, and as his nephew, perhaps follow up in his dreams. My name is Asher Edelson, and this is the Barry Robins website.
