Michael Blake, R. I. P.

NYTimes.com: Michael Blake, who had been washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant when an old friend, Kevin Costner, asked him to adapt his own novel into a screenplay, which became the Oscar-winning script for the Oscar-winning western epic “Dances With Wolves,” died on Saturday in Tucson. He was 69.  

Hat tip to Jeff Meherson.

Sad to read this. His sequel was a good book, too - THE HOLY ROAD.
