Biography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Mark Rosenthal is an American screenwriter and film director and long-time writing partner of Lawrence Konner.
Rosenthal made his debut with the pilot Cassie & Co., followed by the motion picture The Legend of Billie Jean. This was followed by such films as The Jewel of the Nile, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Mercury Rising. Star Trek VI co-writer Leonard Nimoy later alleged, in his book I Am Spock, that Konner and Rosenthal actually had nothing to do with the finished script, but the studio gave them credit for political reasons.
