Leonard Schrader

I was saddened yesterday to learn of the passing of Leonard Schrader at the age of 62. Schrader was the brother of writer/director Paul Schrader, with whom he co-wrote The Yakuza and Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, Blue Collar, and Old Boyfriends. Schrader also received an 1986 Academy Award nomination for his adaptation of Kiss of the Spider Woman. He also taught at USC, Chapman University, and the American Film Institute, where he was the Senior Filmmaker-in-Residence and chairman of the Screenwriting Department.
