Edgar Rosenberg: The Public Ending of a Private Life : Suicide of Rivers’ Husband Camw Without a Warning
He was winding up four days of routine financial meetings in Philadelphia and had told his administrative assistant to confirm his return flight to Los Angeles. He had just finished reading Allan Bloom’s “The Closing of the American Mind” and was looking for another good book. He was trying to figure out when he could reschedule dinner with actor Vincent Price. And, as he always did whenever he went out of town, Edgar Rosenberg kept in close telephone contact with his wife.
“I spoke to him the day before,” comedienne Joan Rivers said Tuesday night, her voice filled with disbelief and anguish. “He said he had finished his business and was coming home.

Edgar Rosenberg’s Testimony with Recollections and Reflections by Bill Mohr
May 9, 2010 at 9:35 am
This morning, we received the material below from Edgar Rosenberg, Professor Emeritus, Cornell University. He is Harry Rosenberg’s brother. As previously mentioned, we were friends in Haiti when I was 4, Harry was 10 and Edgar was 13. In a telephone conversation with Edgar, who is in France until the fall, I learned he remembers seeing my mother and father standing on the dock in Port-au-Prince, as he and his family arrived on the boat that took them to Haiti. Edgar has published articles related to his experiences including Hitler Over my Head(Judaism, Summer 1999) and Vanishing Acts(Commentary, May 1982).
Edgar’s Haiti and Germany related photographs and other material of interest to our readers are in his home in Ithaca, NY and we look forward to receiving more upon his return to the U.S.

Edgar Rosenberg
German-born television producer (1925–1987)
For the professor, see Edgar Rosenberg (professor).
Edgar Rosenberg (September 21, 1925[1] – August 14, 1987) was a German-born British[2] film and television producer based in the U.S.
Early life
Edgar Rosenberg was born to Jewish parents in Bremerhaven in 1925.[1][3] When he was a small boy, his family emigrated from Germany to Denmark and then South Africa to escape the Nazis.[4] He was educated in England at Rugby School and Cambridge University.[4][5]
Career
Rosenberg moved to the United States as a young man and rose to become an assistant to Emanuel Sacks, vice president of entertainment at NBC. He was fired during a year of recovery after, sitting in a parked car, he had been hit by a runaway truck: he had to work as a night clerk in a bookstore.[4] In the 1960s, he worked for the public relations firm run by Anna M. Rosenberg (to whom he was not related) and was a valued news source for journalists.&
