Veteran publicist Howard Brandy dies


June 23, 2008 Howard Brandy, an internationally recognized PR specialist who repped hundreds of films and dozens of musical acts in his four-decade career, died Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after a long illness. The square-jawed, barrel-chested publicist served as the inspiration for Dudley Do-Right, Ward's Canadian Mountie character who did battle with Snidely Whiplash in an animated parody of silent film melodramas. Brandy's wife is Rose Einstein, vp and associate publisher, sales and marketing at The Hollywood Reporter.
