Rest in Peace Sheldon... I read almost every one of his books and adored his TV shows growing up. One very talented man.

Did he write The Other Side Of Midnight? We saw that movie on TV a long time ago--great soap opera movie,with John Beck and that French actress

I've read many of his books, he had a long, rich and fullfilling life and will live on in everything he left for us!

awwwwwww sad news! I love his books. Recently on a trip I bought a book of his I hadn't seen before...I got halfway thru it when I realized it was his biography! he had written it totally different from other's biography's I've read. Until I read the book I didn't realize he did "I Dream of Jeanie" either.
