Posted on November 5th, 2008 by Hot MommaAuthor Michael Crichton, best known for such books as “Jurassic Park” and “Disclosure,” has died at the age of 66. The prolific novelists’ numerous books have sold over 150 million copies worldwide and he also also created the hit TV series “ER.” Crichton passed away in Los Angeles after a secret battle with cancer. His family said the death was unexpected and left the following statement on his website.
“While the world knew him as a great story teller that challenged our preconceived notions about the world around us — and entertained us all while doing so — his wife Sherri, daughter Taylor, family and friends knew Michael Crichton as a devoted husband, loving father and generous friend who inspired each of us to strive to see the wonders of our world through new eyes. He did this with a wry sense of humor that those who were privileged to know him personally will never forget.”
RIP to Michael and our sympathies to his family!
