• Shyer co-wrote and directed many of the biggest comedy hits of the '80s and '90s with ex-wife Nancy Meyers, including 'Baby Boom' and 'The Parent Trap' - a powerhouse creative duo that defined a generation of feel-good films.
• Despite his prolific filmography, Shyer maintained a relatively low profile in Hollywood, preferring to let his work speak for itself rather than courting the spotlight - a rarity for such an influential figure in the industry.
