Probably one of the absolute giants of his tine as far as playwrites go. There was a time when you couldn't swing a cap in Broadway and not see a Neil Simon play. A lot of his work also translated tot he Odd Couple. He had a natural commendation pace to his works. He wrote the Brighton Beach Trilogies, The Goodbye Girl, the Odd Couple, The Hearbreak Kid and countless others.

If you look at his generation of writers, Sid Ceasar, Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner and Woody Allen, Simon kind of stands on top of a real golden age of playwrights.

RIP
