Radio Legend Norman Corwin Dies at 101

Emmy and Golden Globe-winning writer and radio star Norman Corwin died in Los Angeles yesterday at the age of 101. Corwin’s career ran across the media spectrum, but he was best known for his work on the radio–in a career that spanned more than 70 years.

From the AP obit:

Corwin, a creative giant of the Golden Age of Radio whose programs chronicling World War II are milestones in broadcasting, died Tuesday at his Los Angeles home of natural causes, according to the USC Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism where Corwin remained a writer in residence until his death.
