D.M. Marshman Jr.

While Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder were working on the screenplay for "Sunset Blvd." (1950), they feared that their writing had gone stale. They asked D.M. Marshman, Jr., an influential film critic for Life magazine to join their team. Marshman's contribution to the screenplay included the memorable line, "As long as the lady is paying for it, why not take the Vicuna?" The film went on to win three Oscars including one for Brackett, Wilder, and Marshman's screenplay. Despite Marshman's auspicious start as a screenwriter, his career in Hollywood did not last long. After a couple more screenwriting credits (both without either Brackett or Wilder), Marshman left Hollywood to work in the advertising industry.

在创作《日落大道》(1950)的剧本时，查尔斯·布拉克特和比利·怀尔德担心自己的创作陷入窠臼，于是邀请《生活》杂志颇具影响力的影评人小D·M·马许曼加入团队。马许曼为剧本贡献了那句令人难忘的台词："既然这位女士愿意付钱，何不选羊驼毛呢？"该片最终斩获三项奥斯卡奖，其中就包括布拉克特、怀尔德与马许曼共同获得的剧本奖。尽管马许曼的编剧生涯开局亮眼，但他在好莱坞的发展并未持久。在参与另外两部电影剧本创作后（均未与布拉克特或怀尔德合作），马许曼离开好莱坞投身广告行业。
