Elmore Leonard has passed away at the age of 87. The acclaimed writer suffered a stroke last month. On Leonard's official Facebook page, Leonard's researcher, Gregg Sutter, wrote, "The post I dreaded to write, and you dreaded to read. Elmore passed away at 7:15 this morning from complications from his stroke. He was at home surrounded by his loving family. More to follow."
Leonard's knack for crafting clever, witty crime stories led to Hollywood adapting much of his work with a lot of notably impressive results, including films based on his books Get Shorty, Out of Sight and Rum Punch (titled Jackie Brown by Quentin Tarantino). His western short story 3:10 to Yuma was adapted into two hit films, most recently with Christian Bale and Russell Crowe.
