Buck Henry Dies: 'The Graduate' Writer, 'Get Smart' Co-Creator & Early 'SNL' Favorite Was 89

My favorite of his SNL appearances, with Gilda Radner. He had a hard time keeping a straight face.

Besides being a comedic talent on the screen, I appreciated  the screenplays that Buck Henry wrote.  One of my favorites, which I don't think got the credit it was due, was "Catch 22."  What a witty, enjoyable movie.  But that was only one among many of Buck Henry's achievements. 
It's not those who write the laws that have the greatest impact on society.  It's those who write the songs.

Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
