Welcome to Daza and Enid's home on the internet where we celebrate the best of the twentieth century.
You'll find an exciting array of last century cultural detritus in each room of our house. Sounds in the lounge, toiletries in the bathroom and tastes in the kitchen.
Come on in.
born: (1929)
Died: (January 15, 1987) A British writer of thrillers and teleplays.
He was born in Germany but emigrated to England with the rise of the Nazis. He worked as a crime reporter and a military correspondent with the US Army during the Cold War. From then on he was hooked on the study of espionage. He turned from documentary writing for television to drama, creating The Prisoner, before writing for Callan and Armchair Theatre. Together with Patrick McGoohan, he was the co-creator of the series The Prisoner, having served as script consultant and editor on McGoohan's Danger Man series.
He was co-winner of the British Writers’ Guild Award for the Best Original Screenplay for the feature film Robbery in 1967, wrote the screenplay for The Odessa File and was Executive Story Editor for Thames Television before turning to full-time writing.
Markstein actually makes a fleeting appearance at the start of almost every episode of The Prisoner - as the bald, bespectacled 'man behind the desk', to whom McGoohan's character is seen angrily handing his letter of resignation.
