Screenwriter Walter Bernstein passed away at 101. This Oscar nominated veteran was blacklisted in Hollywood from 1950 til 1958 when Director Sidney Lumet hired him. In the meantime he worked under other writers who were 'fronts' and dramatized in The Front. He wrote Fail Safe, Yanks, and Semi-Tough and had a hand uncredited in films like the original western The Magnificent Seven. Up til his passing, he was an instructor for screenwriting.
