William Goldman, the novelist and screenwriter who scripted The Princess Bride, has died at 87. Goldman passed this morning, according to his son-in-law, Mike Pavol. As NPR reports, Goldman launched his career with his first novel, The Temple of Gold, after graduating with a master's in English from Columbia University. He then began dabbling in film by contributing to Masquerade (1965) and adapting Harper (1966). He cemented his place in the industry by winning a best original screenplay Oscar for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in 1970, his debut effort as an original screenwriter.
