"Love means never having to say you're sorry."
The man who forever inked these lines in the minds of millions of youngsters throughout the world with his book"Love Story," has died of a heart attack. Eric Segal was 72.
About Segal AP says:
Segal was a Yale classics professor and screenplay writer when he turned a proposed movie about two college students — preppy Oliver and smart-mouthed Jenny — into a novel. Published in 1970, "Love Story" was a weeper about a young couple who fall in love, marry and discover she is dying of cancer. It was a million seller guaranteed to make readers cry and critics scream.
He is survived by his wife, Karen James, and daughters Francesca, 29, and Miranda, 20.
