Born: August 27, 1929
Died: November 12, 2007

Ira Levin was a novelist and playwright. Although he had many great accomplishments, including the play Deathtrap, he may be best known for a couple of important horror novels:

Rosemary's Baby
Rosemary’s
Baby

The Stepford Wives
The Stepford
Wives

He won the 1996 Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Horror Writers Association.

There are many tributes to Mr. Levin by writers far more eloquent than I. Here are just a few to give you a better idea of what the community of horror readers and writers has lost.
