Michael "Mickey" Rose (May 20, 1935 – April 7, 2013) was an American comedy writer and screenwriter. ==Life and career== Rose was born in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and spent his childhood there and in Crown Heights in the same borough of New York City,〔Douglas Martin ("Mickey Rose, TV Writer and Woody Allen Collaborator, Dies at 77" ), New York Times'', 13 April 2013〕 and was raised by a single mother Sylvia Subin, his father having deserted the family by the time he was born. He and Woody Allen, then known as Allan Stewart Konigsberg, first met at their high school, and became close friends, frequently skipping school, and playing jazz and baseball together. They matriculated at New York University, from which Rose earned a bachelor's degree in film, although Allen dropped out. The two remained friends for the remainder of Rose's life.〔 Rose's earliest material was for the ventriloquist Shari Lewis in her act with the sock-puppet Lamb Chop.〔Sean Fitz-Gerald ("Mickey Rose, Co-Writer of ‘Bananas,’ Dies at 77" ), ''Variety'', 13 April 2013〕 After Allen had become a stand-up comedian, Rose co-wrote "The Moose" routine with him.〔Michael Barrie ("Mickey Rose (1935-2013)" ), ''The Huffington Post'', 15 April 2013〕 Around this time, they collaborated with others on the English adaptation of a Japanese spy film, which was turned into ''What's Up, Tiger Lily?'' (1966), Allen's first film as director. Later the two men collaborated on Allen's comedies ''Take the Money and Run'' (1969) and ''Bananas''.〔 After early work with Allen, Rose was a TV comedy writer, working for comedians such as Johnny Carson, while he was the host of ''The Tonight Show'', Dean Martin (''The Dean Martin Show'', 1973) and Sid Caesar (1963).
