He was suffering from cancer for four years. When I met him in 2006 he looked in bad shape.

sad news.
After seeing it here, I searched the news sites and nothing.
Only other reference was on the Bond sites.

Its true Kev, all our lives would different if it wasnt for Tom's writing, among a few other things which came together perfectly to create the movie we all know and love called Superman.

Cheers Tom Mankiewicz, thanks for some good Bond moments too.

Take it easy man

I got the feeling he was very lonely living up there in the hills. I guess he had his work to occupy him. He was working on his memoirs.

Stuff like this really makes me think of how old I'm getting. Seems like only yesterday that I was a kid and enjoying the work of people like Mankiewcz and others in STM and now he's passed away along with Reeve, Brando, Ford. etc.

RIP, Tom. Thanks for all the good work.

I still wonder what else he had in mind for his Dick Tracy script.

GREAT writer. great guy. sadly missed. - our next live-chat should be one of his flicks- val, where can i read his batman script?

EnriqueH: It can be built on forgiving the mistakes of the past, and remembering the overall experience, which I think has been positive for most. The question is: Will individuals let go of their pride, make up and shake hands, or stay angry forever? May 28, 2015 18:20:17 GMT -5
