William Goldman (1931–2018) was an American novelist and screenwriter whose credits include Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, All the President's Men, The Princess Bride, Marathon Man, and Misery. He won Academy Awards for both Butch Cassidy and All the President's Men. Goldman wrote Adventures in the Screen Trade in 1983 and followed it with Which Lie Did I Tell? in 2000, a sequel covering the years between.

His novel The Princess Bride was adapted from a screenplay he had written and remains a beloved text in both forms.
