Veteran director Blake Edwards has died. He was 88.
Edwards died last night at Saint John's Hospital in Santa Monica, Calf. due to complications of pneumonia.
Edwards is best known as the director and writer of many of the Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers, but he also directed 1960s classics such as Breakfast at Tiffany's and Days of Wine and Roses.
He received a honorary academy award in 2004.
He leaves behind his wife, actress Julie Andrews (whom he married in 1969) and five children.
Funeral and memorial arrangements are still pending. I will be extending my condolences personally to his nephew tonight.
