Early life and career [ edit ]
Landau was born to a Jewish family and raised in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Rose and Harry Rudolph (former president of the Eastern Basketball League)[4] [5] and sister to Mendy Rudolph (2007 inductee to the Basketball Hall of Fame ).[6] She received her B.A. in Education from Wilkes University .[7] In 1948, Landau moved to New York City, where she served as production coordinator for Phillips H. Lord ,[8] on such popular radio shows as Gangbusters and Mr. District Attorney , among others.[9]
In 1953, Landau joined (and later married) Ely Landau in his start-up company National Telefilm Associates [10] which owned television station WNTA Channel 13 in NYC, considered the "fourth TV network" in the early days of television.[11] Until 1961, Edie Landau served as the company's Executive Vice President,[12] [13] overseeing the station's original programming including the anthology drama series The Play of the Week ,[14] The Mike Wallace Show , The David Susskind Show ,[15] Open End , The Bishop Sheen Show , and One Night Stand , among others.[citation needed ]
In 1962, the Landaus produced Long Day's Journey Into Night ,[16] an adaptation of the Eugene O'Neill play directed by Sidney Lumet ,[17] which won Best Actor awards for all its leading actors at the 1962 Cannes Film Festival ,[18] as well as an Academy Award nomination for Katharine Hepburn as Best Actress.[19] This was followed in 1964 by The Pawnbroker [20] [21] [22] (Golden Globe Award winner and Academy Award nomination for Rod Steiger as Best Actor), The Madwoman of Chaillot (1969) also with Hepburn,[23] and the documentary King: a Filmed Record...Montgomery to Memphis (1970).[24] [25] The film about the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. played in 663 theaters as a one-night benefit for King's charities,[26] was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature ,[27] and in 1999 was added to the National Film Registry .[28]
In 1973, the Landaus launched the American Film Theatre ,[29] [30] bringing two seasons of outstanding stage plays to the motion picture screen as part of a subscription series.[31] The fourteen movies of the American Film Theatre included Edward Albee 's A Delicate Balance (the Landaus' third collaboration with Katharine Hepburn ), O'Neill 's The Iceman Cometh , Pinter 's The Homecoming , and Robert Shaw 's The Man in the Glass Booth (with a Best Actor Academy Award nomination for Maximilian Schell ).[29]
Later career [ edit ]
From the late 1970s through the 1980s, Landau produced such films as Hopscotch (with Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson ),[32] [33] Beatlemania , Chaim Potok's The Chosen ,[34] [35] [36] Robert Ludlum ’s The Holcroft Covenant (with Michael Caine ),[37] in addition to a number of award-winning productions for HBO , including The Deadly Game (with George Segal and Robert Morley ),[38] Separate Tables (with Alan Bates and Julie Christie ),[39] [40] Mr. Halpern and Mr. Johnson (with Laurence Olivier and Jackie Gleason )[41] and The Christmas Wife (with Jason Robards and Julie Harris ).[42] [43] [44]
In 1982, while continuing her producing career, Landau graduated from the University of West Los Angeles School of Law , and became a member of the State Bar of California.[45]
In 1989, Landau also began operating Nannies Unlimited Agency, an exclusive Beverly Hills placement service with clientele including numerous celebrities of the entertainment world.[46] [47] [48] In 2014, she published an original volume of poems, Smiles for Seniors: And Anyone Else Who Can Poke Fun at Themselves. [49]

In addition to the two young sons her husband Ely A. Landau brought to the marriage (Neil and Les Landau ), the Landaus had three children together: Jon Landau (producer of such films as Titanic and Avatar ),[50] Tina Landau (renowned theater writer and director),[51] and Kathy Landau (Executive Director of Symphony Space in New York City).[52]
Landau passed away from natural causes on December 24, 2022, at the age of 95.[53] [54]
