Charles Shyer, the writer-director best known for the “Father of the Bride” remake starring Steve Martin, has died.
Shyer died Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after a brief illness, his daughter told media outlets.
The Oscar-nominated writer and director teamed with then-wife Nancy Meyers for several classic ’80s comedies … including “Private Benjamin,” “Irreconcilable Differences,” and “Baby Boom.”
Of course … it was the comedy classic “Father of the Bride” where the creative couple found their biggest success … a remake of the 1950 classic, which spawned a successful sequel in 1995.
Meyers and Shyer divorced in 1999 … their last official collaboration was the screenplay for “The Parent Trap,” starring then-newcomer Lindsay Lohan.
He was 83.
RIP
