(Los Angeles, CA) -- Richard Rossner & Marilyn Anderson's screenplay, "The Fuhgeddaboudit Kid", won 2nd Prize in the American Screenwriting Competition announced last week. It also placed 2nd in the recent Scriptapalooza contest.

It's not the first time this writing team has received kudos for their screenplays. They co-authored another family comedy, "Tough Cookies," which won one of the top honors in a Writer's Digest Screenwriting Competition.

Individually, they have each written award-winning scripts. Marilyn Anderson's comedy, "So Long, Goodbye, Hello" was a top ten finalist in the 2005 American Screenwriting Contest. Her play "Not Tonight, Guido" was a semi-finalist of the Moondance Playwriting Competition. Additionally, the organization Women in Film honored Marilyn with a LUMINAS Award for the positive depiction of women in film and television.

Marilyn is the author of a hilarious book on relationships: "NEVER KISS A FROG: A Girl's Guide to Creatures from the Dating Swamp." She has appeared on over 120 radio and TV shows, and was the "Dating, Flirting & Kissing Coach" on ABC's "Extreme Makeover." Her wit and wisdom has also been featured in magazines and newspapers throughout the country.

Richard Rossner's screenplay "Finding Center" was a semi-finalist in a Writer's Digest Screenwriting Competition. Richard was a member of Los Angeles' premier improvisational theater group, The Groundlings. He and his wife started a company, The Power of Play, which teaches the healing benefits of humor and creativity to people dealing with cancer.

Richard and Marilyn are currently entertaining offers from producers who want to buy "The Fuhgeddaboudit Kid" -- and produce it. They have been in development hell with other projects and are committed to seeing "The Fuhgeddaboudit Kid" reach the screen.
