Tom Stoppard, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Shakespeare in Love and 5x Tony-winning playwright, has died. He was 88.
United Agents announced on Saturday that Stoppard died “peacefully” at his Dorset, England home, where he was surrounded by family.
“He will be remembered for his works, for their brilliance and humanity, and for his wit, his irreverence, his generosity of spirit and his profound love of the English language,” the statement reads, according to the Associated Press. “It was an honor to work with Tom and to know him.”
