 14 Years Ago Today

Monday 12th of November 2007
Writer Ira Marvin Levin known for Rosemary’s Baby dies of a heart attack at the age of 78 in New York, Manhattan, New York, United States.

He had previously received two degrees in physiology (from Boston College), one in pharmacology (from Ohio State) and one in chemistry (from Harvard); he died of heart failure on 4 September 2007. His father, a retired New Jersey lawyer, became a member and advocate for a single-payer health care model. From the beginning of their association, he was an active supporter of single, all-payer social insurance. As their primary caregiver, Mark was a loving, supportive husband, father, and father-in-law. When working on the film, Larry gave all of his energies and passion for creating awareness to bring change to this country! Larry and I met through one of Larry's close friends, who also worked for Congress on the Congressional Budget Act of 1998, and Larry worked at the New York Public Health Fund before heading off on his own work on television. His wife, who is a board member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, is Director of the Center for Family Violence. For about nine months, Larry's home had been hit by falling tree branches during a wildfire. Larry was home alone, and so was his family. Larry was an avid outdoorsman. His wife loved swimming and kayaking, and he always enjoyed.
