Millard Kaufman is Dead at 92

Screenwriter Millard Kaufman, who co-created the cartoon character Mr. Magoo, has died. He was 92. Kaufman was nominated twice for screenwriting Oscars for Take the High Ground! and Bad Day at Black Rock.

Kaufman died Saturday of heart failure, said Laura Howard, spokeswoman for McSweeney's Publishing, which published his novel Bowl of Cherries in 2007. Kaufman's writing credits also include Never So Few, The Warlord, The Klansman and Convicts 4, as well an episode of the TV series Police Story and the TV movie Enola Gay.

Kaufman wrote his first novel at the age of 90. Our condolences to his friends and family.
