Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Betsy's Wedding is a 1990 American comedy film written and directed by Alan Alda. It co-stars Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Madeline Kahn, Joey Bishop, Joe Pesci, Anthony LaPaglia, Burt Young and Catherine O'Hara. The plot was inspired by the marriage of Alda's youngest daughter. While the film was not critically well-received (with comments such as "threadbare concoction", "narcissism flourishing like ragweed" and "unctuous" peppering the reviews), it has been cited as launching the movie career of Anthony LaPaglia. Alan Alda (born January 28, 1936) is an American actor, director and screenwriter. A five-time Emmy Award and six-time Golden Globe Award winner, he is best known for his role as Hawkeye Pierce in the TV series M*A*S*H. During the 1970s and 1980s, he was viewed as the archetypal sympathetic male, though in recent years, he has appeared in roles that counter that image.
