From Broadway to Hollywood to best-selling novels, Sidney Sheldon was well known as a prolific writer in several fields. Though best known for his novels, which have been published in 51 languages, he was also an award-winning playwright and screenwriter, having received an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Tony. “At his best, Mr. Sheldon was considered a master storyteller whose novels were known for their meticulous research, swift pacing, lush settings and cliffhanging chapters,” wrote columnist Margalit Fox for the New York Times. In 1997, the Guinness Book of World Records listed Sheldon as the most widely read author in the world.
