[RIP] ‘The Princess Bride’ and ‘Misery’ Screenwriter William Goldman Has Died at 87
Sad news this morning, as we’ve learned that celebrated, Oscar-winning screenwriter William Goldman passed away at his home in Manhattan last night. Goldman was 87 years old.
Goldman won not one but two Academy Awards in his career, for both All the President’s Men and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. But those two classics are merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Goldman’s incredible contributions to the film business.
In the horror world, Goldman wrote the screenplay for Rob Reiner’s Misery, of course an adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, and he also wrote 1978’s Magic, based on his own novel.
The list goes on, and it also includes The Stepford Wives (1975), Marathon Man, A Bridge Too Far, Heat, Maverick, The General’s Daughter, Hearts in Atlantis and Dreamcatcher.
Of course, one of Goldman’s most notable works was The Princess Bride. He wrote the novel that became the 1987 film, and Goldman also penned the novel it was based on.
