Neil Bernstein (July 17, 1939 – November 9, 1978) known as Neil Nephew, was an American actor, writer and story editor.

His works as an actor include Panic in Year Zero! (1962), The Rebel Rousers (1970) and Alex in Wonderland (1970). He also worked as a story editor, writing two episodes of The Monkees in late 1967 and in early 1968.

Early life

Nephew was born as Neil Bernstein in New York City. He was married to the actress Ellen Burstyn from 1964 to 1972.[1]

Career

As an actor, Nephew appeared in the film Panic in Year Zero! in the role of Andy. As a writer, he wrote two episodes of The Monkees: "The Monkees' Christmas Show" (Air date: December 25, 1967) and "The Monstrous Monkee Mash" (Air date: January 22, 1968). In 1970, he appeared in the film The Rebel Rousers and in the film Alex in Wonderland with his then wife Ellen Burstyn.

Personal life

Nephew married the actress Ellen Burstyn in 1964. In her autobiography, Burstyn says that her husband started to use his grandfather's name, Burstyn, when at that time they were legally Mr. and Mrs. Bernstein. When she received a call from a film producer asking her what name should be used in the credits of Alex in Wonderland, she decided to change her name from Ellen McRae to Ellen Burstyn.[1]

In her autobiography, Burstyn also tells that Nephew was schizophrenic, he would have episodes of violence, and eventually left her. He attempted to reconcile, but she rejected this, ultimately divorcing him in 1972.[2]

Nephew killed himself in 1978 by jumping from the window of his ninth-floor Manhattan apartment[2]
