"The fact that I am being interviewed at the age of eighty-one as a writer is inconceivable," says William Goldman, an award-winning author of screenplays, plays, memoirs, and novels.
In this video, Goldman describes his first lucky break: the publication of his first novel when he was just twenty-four. Soon after, he began writing for Hollywood. His work defined some of the finest American films of the twentieth century, including All the President's Men (1976), for which he won two Academy Awards.
Goldman continued writing novels, several of which he then adapted as screenplays, including the hit movies Marathon Man (1976) and The Princess Bride (1987). He quips about his success, "the only place I'm famous is dental offices," in a nod to a dental-torture scene in Marathon Man.
