I'm terribly sorry to hear about this

The playwright and screenwriter Wendy Wasserstein has died. I won't claim she was one of my favorite writers, but I liked The Heidi Chronicles a lot. Looking back, I think it may have been a little influential on me starting to write my own dramas with strong women characters.

On the other hand, she also wrote the screenplay for The Object of my Affection, which for me was a big part of the reason why that film didn't work. But a good writer is a good writer, and I'm always sorry to hear when the good writers go.
