Paddy Chayefsky was an American screenwriter and novelist who had a distinguished ability in complex plot progression. He is the only person who won three solo Academy Awards for Best Screenplay. He was also considered as one of the most successful dramatists of the Golden Age of television. Chayefsky’s screenplays contained a distinctive intimate, realistic and naturalistic style of television drama in the 1950s. He was seen as a pioneer for the Kitchen Sink Realism movement, a movement that started in 1950s where heroes in art were seen as angry young men. Most screenplays in this movement used a style of social realism.

Chayefsky gained the reputation as a realist for his style of scripting. His significance in dialogue was able to overshadow the art of stage sets in television, which let his style of writing adapt to the television scene in a little amount of time. His screenplays often reflected the struggles of the human condition and the life of ordinary, hard-working people trying to maintain a middle class life.  

One of his greatest screenplays was a film based on the life of Marilyn Monroe, called The Goddess. He won two Oscars for The Hospital, which was referred to as a "lethally funny account of American social benevolence collapsing in its own bureaucratic chaos,” according to historian David Thomson. Chayefsky’s screenplay Network was nominated for ten Academy Awards and won four. Chayefsky’s screenwriting provided actor Peter Finch with one of the most iconic movie lines in film history. Finch played a news anchor who advised people on national television to go up to their windows and yell out with him, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!”

_ People who think of new ideas for TV shows, movies and webisodes come from many different places and backgrounds.  Many do not even work in the entertainment industry- they are just everyday people with an idea.  Oprah Winfrey worked at a local grocery store before creating the Oprah Winfrey Show and Dr. Phil Show. Tyler Perry dropped out of high school before becoming a multimillionaire for creating television shows like “Tyler Perry’s House of Payne” and “Meet the Browns.”

Oprah Winfrey had a simple television show idea that led her to a career as an American media mogul, television host, actress, and producer and with all that success, she finds time in philanthropy by building schools in Africa. She is also the richest African-American with a net worth of $2.7 billion.

Tyler Perry was actually inspired by Oprah Winfrey to create his own screenplays, which led to a couple of TV show ideas and movies that are very successful.  His movies, stage plays and TV show ideas are also inspired from his troubled childhood. Perry’s movies have earned a total of $260 million.  He has defied odds, as he has reached audiences that traditional Hollywood has struggled to reach with movies about African-American families.

These are just two examples of people who had great ideas for television and movies and pursued their dreams with passion. They both had trials and tribulations in their childhoods.  Before they were famous, they were both just people with a troubled past who decided to take action on their show creation ideas, and with that they changed the world.
