Howard Zieff was one of those directors from the 1980's whose work has kind of been forgotten over the years. "Private Benjamin" was probably his most notable film and it led Goldie Hawn to her second Oscar nomination. My favorite Howard Zieff would have to be either "The Dream Team", a ridiculous comedy about escaped patients from a mental facility; or "My Girl", one of the sweetest films from the early-1990's and one of my favorite films as a child. Howard Zieff gave up directing in 1994 and now leaves us today at 81-years of age. He will be missed.
