Abstract: Manuscripts, screenplays, adaptations, research materials, publisher and personal correspondence, handwritten and typed notes,
personal and business related financial records, resumes, clippings, awards, photographs, and films of Richard Jay Silverthorn,
1933-1986. Born Marshall Stuart Goldman, Silverthorn was a writer, filmmaker, and gay activist.
Biographical Information
Richard Jay Silverthorn was born Marshall Stuart Goldman in Buffalo, New York in 1952. Silverthorn attended the University
of Rochester from 1970-1974, graduating with a BA in English. He then moved to Los Angeles to attend the University of Southern
California film school, graduating in 1978 with a Master of Fine Arts (Cinema). As a film student, Silverthorn received accolades
at the SPREE Awards for his gay films in 1975 (2nd place for
Dichotomy) and in 1977 (1st place for
Two Faggots and 2nd place for
The Tea Room Scene). It was because Marshall Goldman had received attention for his gay films that his mother asked him to change his name.
He also won many awards for his final student film,
Who is Richard Jay Silverthorn Anyway? in which he played numerous characters as well as created special effects and animation.
Silverthorn wrote manuscripts, screenplays, and various adaptations of his original work and the work of others, notably Ray
Bradbury's
Frost and Fire and a trilogy based on Frank LaLoggia's 1981 film
Fear No Evil which Silverthorn acted in and created the make-up for. Silverthorn ceaselessly wrote and revised while attempting to land
production and actor roles as well as book deals. In 1983 he partnered Maynard T. Smith, staff at USC Cinema, to create Simian
Word Processing, a business geared toward providing publishing services for graduate students completing their dissertations.
He also dabbled in the management of actor Nick Spittelli from 1984-1985. Silverthorn had one book published,
Satan's Spawn (Avon Books, 1988) which was the third book of his "Satan Trilogy" originally titled
Lucifer. Remaining in Los Angeles until his death on March 23, 1987 from AIDS-related complications, Silverthorn's last years were
spent creating an exhaustive family tree for the descendants of Rabbi David Zisilis.
