Erlichman自1961年起担任史翠珊的经纪人，经手她全部唱片、戏剧、电影、电视、商品授权与现场演唱会合约，把她从纽约夜总会歌手一路推向舞台与银幕的国际巨星。他担任史翠珊所有电视特辑的执行制片人，制作了她2000年的千禧演唱会与2006年至2007年的世界巡演；1994年HBO特辑《Barbra: The Concert》为他赢得艾美奖与皮博迪奖。Variety报道称，他的死因与年龄相关因素有关。
除史翠珊外，Erlichman的客户还包括爱尔兰民谣组合The Clancy Brothers与Tommy Makem、重量级拳王George Foreman、唱片制作人Bob Crewe与喜剧演员Chevy Chase。作为电影制片人，他的作品包括史翠珊主演的1974年喜剧《For Pete's Sake》、1978年心理惊悚片《Coma》与1983年由Richard Gere主演的《Breathless》。
史翠珊在声明中说："尽管Martin度过了漫长而充实的一生，但面对失去如此亲近之人的现实，任何准备都无济于事。我一直以为他会永远活着。在我眼中，他坚不可摧，始终陪伴在我身边，与我共同经历一切。他无可替代，我将永远感激他的友谊、忠诚与坚定不移的支持。"
Erlichman的家人在声明中写道："在世人眼中，他是好莱坞的一位巨人；对我们而言，他是一位深情、忠诚、充满爱心的父亲、丈夫与祖父，是我们的主心骨。我们深切感受到他的离去，同时永远为他的人生以及他给世界留下的不可磨灭的印记感到骄傲。"
Erlichman于1929年9月13日出生于纽约Brooklyn，毕业于爱荷华州Des Moines的Drake University。他身后留下妻子Miko Mayama Erlichman、儿子J.J.、儿媳Talia与四名孙辈。家人表示，纪念捐款可捐往St. Jude Children's Research Hospital或National Kidney Foundation。
Martin Erlichman, Barbra Streisand's Manager for More Than 60 Years, Dies at 97
Martin Erlichman, the entertainment manager who discovered Barbra Streisand and managed her career for more than 60 years, has died at 97. The New York Times reported that he died in Los Angeles on October 31. Variety reported that the cause was age-related.
Erlichman became Streisand's manager in 1961 and negotiated all of her recording, theater, motion picture, television, merchandise and licensing and live concert contracts, as she rose from New York nightclub singer to international star of stage and screen. He was the executive producer of all of her television specials and produced her 2000 Millennium Concert and her 2006 to 2007 world tour. The 1994 HBO special "Barbra: The Concert" won him both an Emmy Award and a Peabody Award as executive producer.
His other clients included the Irish folk group The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman, record producer Bob Crewe and comedian and actor Chevy Chase. As a film producer, his credits include Streisand's 1974 comedy "For Pete's Sake," the 1978 psychological thriller "Coma" and the 1983 film "Breathless," starring Richard Gere.
"Although Marty lived a long and full life, nothing can prepare you for the reality of losing someone so dear," Streisand said in a statement. "I truly thought he would live forever. In my eyes, he was simply indestructible, always by my side, through everything. He can never be replaced, and I will be forever grateful for his friendship, loyalty, and unwavering support."
"To the world, he was a giant of Hollywood; to us, he was a deeply devoted and loving father, husband, grandfather, and rock," Erlichman's family wrote in a statement. "We feel his loss deeply but are endlessly proud of the life he lived and the indelible mark he left on the world."
Erlichman was born on September 13, 1929, in Brooklyn, New York, and graduated from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. He is survived by his wife, Miko Mayama Erlichman; their son, J.J.; daughter-in-law, Talia; and four grandchildren. The family said donations can be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or the National Kidney Foundation.
