[figmentPez]

"For the past few months, the family of Oscar-winning author and screenwriter William Goldman has been by his side as he battled colon cancer, and, more recently, pneumonia. Today, though, his family announced that the writer passed away in his New York City home." - IO9

Also among his credits are Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and the screen adaptations of Flowers For Algernon, The Stepford Wives, All the President’s Men, and Misery.

Mark Ellis and his wife need to team up and put together a 1hr TV biography of his life and times, and call it “The Good Parts Version.”
...except that his wife needs to get the top billing.
