Neil Simon passed away at 91 and he leaves a bountiful treasure trove of plays and movies that cover decades of romantic comedy at its best. Once part of the classic writers of Your Show of Shows along with Larry Gelbart, Mel Brooks and many others, he brought forth such classics as The Odd Couple, Barefoot in the Park, The Goodbye Girl, and Murder by Death, and much, much more.
His output was matched by his uncanny ability to connect with mainstream audiences. He wrote Broadway hits and later movie blockbusters.
We have a body of written entertainment to sustain decades more. Thank you Mr. Simon.
