TOM MANKIEWICZ PASSED AWAY

Tom Mankiewicz passed away last week at the age of 68. He was the Screen Writer for SUPERMAN I & II, a few 70s JAMES BOND flicks and LADYHAWKE!

Superman director Richard Donner said, “Making ‘Superman’ was only possible because when Tom came in, he brought his sense of humor and brought those characters to life. A lot of people in this town have ‘the gift of gab.’ Tom’s was unique; there was always a true emotional center.”

Rest in peace.
Thank you for the influential works!
