Michael Crichton, R.I.P.

Michael Crichton passed away on November 4th from cancer. I’ll let the wiki article give the details of his long and incredibly successful career. I’ll just hit my high points. The original The Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park, The 13th Warrior (based on the book Eaters of Dead) and good old Westworld.

He falls into the grey area between had a long successful life and died before his time. 66 is an age where it is tough to really say either, so I’ll just let his passing go without saying either. He left his mark and the entertainment industry owes him much.
