Neil Simon--Funny Playwright

Neil Simon, who along with Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, seemed like the last of the great funny writers of my lifetime, died this weekend.   Simon was probably best known for The Odd Couple which turned into a movie and later a hit TV show.  He also was known for writing Barefoot In The Park and Brighton Beach Memoirs.
He was born Marvin Neil Simon in The Bronx, New York.
