Sir Ronald Harwood, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of the 2002 film “The Pianist,” has died. He was 85.
He died Tuesday of natural causes, his agent Judy Daish said in a statement to BBC. “His wife Natasha died in 2013 and Sir Ronald is survived by their children Antony, Deborah and Alexandra,” Daish said.
Harwood was born in South Africa and went on to become one of Britain’s greatest playwrights. He is perhaps best known for his play “The Dresser,” which follows the assistant of an aging actor and is based on Harwood’s own time as a dresser. The play debuted on West End in 1980 and then on Broadway in 1981.
“The Dresser” was then adapted into a 1983 film, for which Harwood wrote the screenplay. Star Tom Courtenay, who portrayed the dresser, won the Golden Globe for best actor in a drama. The story was also adapted for TV and radio.

British playwright Harold Pinter has checked into a London hospital, only a week after backing out of attending the presentation ceremony for his Nobel Prize for Literature in Sweden. The Birthday Party writer, 75, announced last week he would be unable to make the journey to Stockholm on Saturday due to "health reasons," leaving his publisher Stephen Page to accept the 10 million kroner prize. And his agent Judy Daish confirmed yesterday the ailing scriptwriter is back in hospital being treated for an undisclosed illness. She says, "He hasn't been very well for a while. He is back in hospital." Despite Pinter's hospital visit, he was well enough to record the traditional laureate's lecture on Sunday, which will be presented at the Swedish Academy later this month. Daish adds, "He recorded his Nobel lecture yesterday in a studio, so in order for him to have done that presumably he must be stronger than he has been."...
