Screenwriter

The Resume

    (January 25, 1944-November 5, 2009)
    Born in the Bronx, New York
    Birth name was Evan Charmatz
    Dentist and screenwriter
    Co-wrote the screenplay for ‘Robin Hood: Men in Tights’
    Accused Michael Jackson of molesting his son, Jordan (1993)
    Jackson’s insurance company settled the case for $15 million
    Committed suicide by gunshot at age 65

Why he might be annoying:

    He changed his name to sound less Jewish.
    According to Carrie Fisher, he could be persuaded via payoffs or ‘favors’ to come to a patient’s home to administer drugs.
    At the time of the accusation against Jackson, he was fighting with his ex-wife June for custody of Jordan and was $60,000 behind on child support payments.
    In a taped phone call, he said about the suit, ‘If I go through with this, I win big time…. June is gonna lose Jordy. She will have no right to ever see him again.’
    The phone call took place on July 8, 1993, but Evan testified that he learned of the abuse on July 16, when Jordan talked about it while under the influence of anesthesia during a tooth extraction.
    He threatened Jackson biographer Randy Tarborrelli after Taraborrelli refused to back his claims 100%.
    Jordan obtained a restraining order against him after accusing him of hitting him with a barbell, choking him, and spraying mace in his face (2005).

Why he might not be annoying:

    A relative said, ‘He was a handsomer version of Rob Lowe, that’s how drop-dead handsome he was.’
    He received death threats from PO’ed Jackson fans.
    Despite what some Jackson fanatics claim, he never recanted his allegations of abuse.
    He suffered from Gaucher’s disease, an incurable genetic ailment that caused terrible bone pain.
