Best-selling author Michael Crichton died unexpectedly in Los Angeles Tuesday, November 4, 2008 after a courageous and private battle against cancer.
Who would not have known the guy who wrote the historic and prehistoric science thrillers such as “Jurassic Park, “Timeline” and “The Andromeda Strain” has his own private battle of cancer. This 6-foot-9-inch author was also a screenwriter and filmmaker, earning producing and writing credits for the film versions of many of his titles. He also created the TV hospital series “ER” in 1994.
Through his books, Michael Crichton served as an inspiration to students of all ages, challenged scientists in many fields, and illuminated the mysteries of the world in a way we could all understand.
He will be profoundly missed by those whose lives he touched, but he leaves behind the greatest gifts of a thirst for knowledge, the desire to understand, and the wisdom to use our minds to better our world.
He was unusually tall, wasn’t he?
I’ve read only one of his books,’ The Rising Sun’.
I didn’t know that he was a medical doctor though.
he is tall. i didn’t expect it. most of his future novels reflects his medical training and science background.
he is indeed a genius esp. with his pen.
Another guy who made a big difference in the world… He will be missed.
i agree sky. he is known and will be remembered.
he is really a talented guy,who would forget Jurassic Park?He will be miss for sure…
you’re right. his name is uaully associated by the blockbuster hit.
Oh dear! He will surely be missed however his legacy will certainly live on.
i agree Chey. he has inspired many young people.
I love his books! Jurassic Park was my favorite.
He will be missed.
Notice the show he created “ER” is also ending this year?
hi Amber!
i actually didn’t follow the “ER” tv series. so it’s ending now too?
he really has a way with words.
oh my Zeus! He is a good-looking man and wonderful writer. My friend who’s a physical therapist reads his book a lot.
i agree that he’s good-looking and no one will dispute us when we say wonderful writer. i haven’t got the chance to read his book, i usually just wait for it to be in the bigscreen.
oh my… i’m so saddened with this news. i love his novels.
hello Eric!
