Edyth "Edie" Landau, born Edyth Rudolph was an Oscar-nominated producer and executive vice president of National Telefilm Associates.
Mrs Landau studied at Wilkes College.
She began her career in the entertainment industry, later moving to New York City where she worked at the National Telefilm Associates and launched The American Film Theatre. The company was founded by Ely Landau, who she married. The union produced a son Oscar winning Jon Landau and a daughter Tina Landau.
She went on to produce Oscar-nominated films "Long Day's Journey Into Night," "Hopscotch" and "The Deadly Game" — and television shows "The David Susskind Show," "The Play of the Week," "The Mike Wallace Interview," and "Open End."
Landau wrote several books of poetry in her later years, including Smiles for Seniors: And Anyone Else Who Can Poke Fun at Themselves," "Life in Two Lines: Poems to Make Seniors Smile," "Life in the Coronavirus Era: Poems to Help Seniors Smile," "Edie's Book of Wisdom" and "Edie's Anatomy Lesson."
Landau became an equal rights advocate, possibly sparked by helping in 1958 to change restrictions barring women from boarding all-male passenger planes. She attended the University of West Los Angeles School of Law and became a member of the State Bar of California in 1982.
Mrs Landau passed from natural causes at her home, she was 95 years old
