Biography

[edit | edit source]

Sather was born in Seattle, Washington, on May 24, 1959.

In 1994, Sather was nominated for an Emmy Award for his work on The Larry Sanders Show.[1] Sather wrote for Saturday Night Live during the 1994–1995 season.[2] Sather created the character Derek Zoolander.[3] His last credit was an unsold pilot of a television remake of Mr. Ed, for which he also served as an executive producer.[4]

Sather was married to Krystal Ginger Hendricks from 1989–1990. He and Krystal had one child, Rudy.[5] On July 4, 1991, he married Marnie Stroud.[6] They remained married until his death. He and Marnie had three children: Dallas, Tristan, and Molly.[7]

At the time of his death, Sather and his wife were going through couples therapy; he had expressed frustration at his home life along with his current work (the aforementioned Mr. Ed). On March 3, 2004, after a heated therapy session saw him leave early, Sather called his wife and he died by suicide using a firearm.[8][9]
