Harold Pinter, who wrote many classic plays, but is probably best known outside the theater for the script of the film “The French Lieutenant’s Woman, has died from cancer of the oesophagus at the age of 78.
He was a major figure in British Theater from the 1950′s
He was awarded a CBE in 1966, turned down a later knighthood, became a Companion of Honour in 2002, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2005, and had been due to pick up an honorary degree earlier this month from the Central School of Speech and Drama in London but had to cancel due to illness.
He is survived by his wife, Lady Antonia Fraser.
