Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted December 2, 2005 Award-Winning Playwright Wendy Wasserstein Reportedly Gravely Ill. http://www.broadway.com/gen/Buzz_Story.aspx?ci=522061 She doesn't strike me as overly famous, but did win the Pulitzer Prize, amongst a whole string of other gongs, in 1989. Would be worth a consideration perhaps? DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted January 6, 2006 Wendy Wasserstein, a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright is critically ill with leukemia. She might not last until 2007, in fact she might be dead already as the news story I saw was 3 weeks old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has it actually been mentioned in the UK media? Well it's already hit the U.S. news wires, so Hartlepool is covered. Can't see why it wouldn't hit the UK within a day or less, but who knows?

Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted January 30, 2006 And today's lesson is: "Put you money where you mouth is". You would have thought after the Richard Burns fiasco last year, that if I tipped someone for the chop I would put them in my DDP, but no, once again I have no conviction in my postings.
