Hollywood loses another towering figure, and this time it is in the fine art of screenwriting. William Goldman, whose credits include HARPER, BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID, ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN, and many, many others, passed away this morning in New York City at the age of 87. More on this legendary screenwriter (and novelist, including his adaptation of his own novel Marathon Man) here:

"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt
