NEW YORK -- Author Dominick Dunne, who told stories of shocking crimes among the rich and famous through his magazine articles and best-selling books including "Another City, Not My Own," about O.J. Simpson's murder trial, died Wednesday in his home at age 83.

Dunne's son, Griffin Dunne, said in a statement released by Vanity Fair magazine that his father had been battling bladder cancer. But the cancer had not prevented Dunne from working and socializing, his twin passions.

He will be missed.

I don't whether you all remember that his daughter, same name, an actress who was in the original movie Poltergeist was murdered by an ex-boyfriend who ended up getting out of jail after just a few years.

Mr. Dunne will be missed.

Yes, I do. Dominique Dunne was murdered senselessly and her murdererer didn't serve much time at all. He ended the career of a bright young woman so tragically.

I remember the first thing I read by Mr. Dunne. It was an article (can't remember which magazine) about the murder of his daughter, Dominique. I was struck by how he balanced the grief and outrage of the travesty of a trial for her murderer with the necessity of telling the entire story.

Now he and Dominique are together :down:
