Great American playwright. The Odd Couple, Barefoot in the Park, much more. Wrote for Sid Caesar. Many movies, such an icon on Broadway that the Alvin Theater was renamed the Neil Simon. You may not know who he is, but you've probably seen his work.

He sang with Art Garfunkel, right?

Statistically being that he’s a major player in Theater I am going to safely assume that at more than one point in his life he’s been naked, passed out on another man in a pile of cocaine and dildos.

I like Neil Simon, I’ve seen all of his works - But his profession and art are at the core of an underbelly of society that somehow leaks beyond it’s own leaching field to come and attack us for being the ones that pay their bills.

Tim Conway is on his way out too. Keep that in mind.

Man you must be young...or living under a rock. Probably the best comedic playwright of the last 100 years.

The Odd Couple, Plaza Suite, Biloxi Blues, Barefoot in the Park, The Sunshine Boys, Lost in Yonkers; the list is endless.

He was an unbelievable talent.
