| William Goldman |
On November 16, 2018 writer William Goldman passed away at the age of 87 in Manhatan, New York after complications with colon cancer and pneumonia. Over the course of a career spanning half of a century, he has become renowned as one of the greatest screenwriters of all time. With two Academy Awards for writing, he has helped to shape the modern sense of the screenplay with films like All the President's Men, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, as well as the family classic The Princess Bride. He was also a novelist and a script doctor who worked on enough scripts to help shape the cinema of the 80's and 90's into something greater. He leaves behind a body of work that wasn't only great on screen, but also on the page. No matter what, his body of work speaks for itself and there's a good chance that no matter what, there's at least one film you're bound to like from his impressive career.
