I'm not a superstitious person, who thinks that things happen in threes or that one should be wary of patterns that are emergent in certain events.

However, if I were William Goldman I would be a tad nervous right now. Goldman is a prolific screenwriter whose most notable work is the script for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Thing is, in the past month the Butch Cassidy director (George Roy Hill), executive producer (Paul Monash) and cinematographer (Conrad Hall) have all died.

As these were behind-the-scenes folks, I think that Paul Newman and Robert Redford can sleep easy. Maybe.
