	Sidney Sheldon, Author of Steamy Novels, Dies at 89 - New York Times (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Sidney Sheldon, an Oscar- and Tony-winning writer of squeaky-clean fare for stage and screen who became world famous for his later career as a writer of steamy, best-selling novels, died on Tuesday in Rancho Mirage, Calif. He was 89 and had homes in Malibu and Palm Springs, Calif.
		Sheldon turned to fiction only in his 50s, after having an idea for a thriller he felt was too psychologically nuanced for film, TV or the stage.
		Sheldon jetted to exotic locales to research his books and lived in homes brimming with art and antiques, his life had little in common with those of his characters — at least, to hear him tell it, in one crucial respect.

		Sidney Sheldon, who won awards in three careers -- Broadway theater, movies, television -- then at age 50 turned to writing bestselling novels about stalwart women who triumph in a hostile world of ruthless men, has died.
		Sheldon remained active as a writer well into his ninth decade and many of his novels were turned into films and TV miniseries, usually boasting his name in front of the title.
		Sheldon's highly melodramatic and incident-filled novels proved to be better suited for the small screen, and starting with 1980's "Rage of Angels" (which the author adapted and produced), his works regularly made the transition to television.

	Sidney Sheldon
		Sidney Sheldon was rarely accused of writing great literature, but many of his works were wildly popular.
		Sheldon worked as an usher in a movie theater, where he unavoidably saw the same films day after day, and finally decided he could write better stories than he was seeing on the screen.
		Television was also Sheldon's territory: ABC asked him to craft a situation comedy for Patty Duke, and it was he who devised the concept of "identical cousins" and wrote most of the series' episodes.

		Sheldon was in the Guinness Book of World Records for the greatest number of languages into which his novels were translated, and more than 300m copies were printed.

		Still, in an arc borrowed from Horatio Alger, Sheldon overcame circumstance and, by the tender age of 27, was the author of no less than three Broadway shows, 2 hits and a flop.
		Sheldon is not out to taint careers (most of the dirt, in fact, made its way out of the confessional long ago) - he is out to make you finish the book by the time your flight lands.
		Despite a hale history of successes, Sheldon is no stranger to bouts of suicidal instinct (one wonders if he ever considered jumping off a stack of his own books.) These days, he claims, he is more often than not at his best behaved.
