American novelist Elmore Leonard dies at 87
Elmore Leonard, one of America’s greatest crime novelists, has died following complications from a stroke, his longtime researcher Gregg Sutter confirmed. He was 87.
Among Leonard’s best-known works are “Hombre” (starring Paul Newman), “Get Shorty,” “Out of Sight” and “Jackie Brown” (based upon his “Rum Punch”). Some of his stories include ones that became the films “3:10 to Yuma” and “The Tall T,” as well as the FX TV series, Justified.
Shit. Goodbye and thank you.
