Budd Schulberg R.I.P.



The 95-year-old novelist and screenwriter Budd Schulberg has died of natural causes in his Long Island, New York home. He's best known for his script for On the Waterfront, but also for having snitched before the House of Un-American Activities Committee. Lesser known is the fact that he arrested Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl.

There's an eulogy here.
