The only screenwriter to receive an honorary Oscar died on Saturday at age 89. The news didn't get out until today. The Writers Guild website's obituary calls Lehman "one of the most critically lauded and commercially successful screenwriters in Hollywood history." He wrote the screenplays for North by Northwest, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, West Side Story, Sabrina, and The Sound of Music. "A creative giant among writers and within the industry, Ernest possessed one of the most distinctive voices of the last half-century," said WGA president Daniel Petrie Jr.
