(NEW YORK) — Oscar-winning screenplay writer William Goldman has died. He was 87.
Goldman won Academy Awards for the comic Western “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” and the political thriller “All the President’s Men.”
He converted his novels “Marathon Man” and “The Princess Bride” into hit movies and coined a favorite Hollywood catchphrase, “Nobody knows anything,” that summed up the mystery of what makes a movie work. In his time, he was among the highest paid writers in the business.
Goldman’s daughter Jenny says her father died early Friday in New York due to complications from colon cancer and pneumonia.
His other screen credits included “The Stepford Wives,” ”Misery” and “A Bridge Too Far.”

Fantastic scene from a fantastic movie.
Many good movies. RIP Mr Goldman
I sit here and reflect upon all the good deeds, writings, sonnets, portrayals, songs, and sea of dramatic faces drawn by men and women to affect the masses. I've come to accept that all the 'great ones' I have have known in life possess special powers of imagination and expression.
Somewhere out there all our POETS are forever.
RIP Mr. Goldman and thanks for all the great entertainment.
RIP, Bill Goldman.
As much as I enjoy the movie "The Princess Bride", the book was even better.
