Producer and executive Edgar J. Scherick, whose varied and colorful career ranged from such movie classics as Take the Money and Run and The Heartbreak Kid to ABC's Bewitched, Batman and Wide World of Sports, died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 78. Scherick, who also mentored a generation of young people who went on to become leading industry figures, including Roone Arledge, Brian Grazer, Scott Rudin and Jeff Sagansky, had a series of strokes in recent years and suffered from leukemia, said his publicist, Warren Cowan. He remained active in the business even at the very end of his life. His most recent project, this year's HBO movie Path to War, about President Johnson's behind-the-scenes escalation of the Vietnam conflict, garnered eight Emmy nominations.
