Michael Crichton dies of Cancer

The year 2008 has claimed another one of the greats.

Michael Crichton, the million-selling author of such historic and prehistoric science thrillers as "Jurassic Park," "Timeline" and "The Andromeda Strain," has died of cancer, his family said.

He died Tuesday in Los Angeles at age 66 after a long battle with the illness.

Chrichton was a brand-name author, known for his stories of disaster and systematic breakdown, such as the rampant microbe of "The Andromeda Strain" or dinosaurs running amok in "Jurassic Park," one of his many books that became major Hollywood movies.

FUCK YOU CANCER!

I have yet to read The Andromeda Strain, I heard it was epic.
 
One of my favorite movies EVAAAR was Westworld.

He wrote and directed it.

btw, I have a friend that worked on Andromeda Strain many years ago, he met both Chrichton and Robert Wise on that movie and was lifelong friends with both.

Sad news indeed.
