Bo Goldman, a two-time Oscar winner, died on Tuesday in Helendale, California, at the age of 90, according to his son-in-law, Todd Field. The cause of David's death, as well as his screenplays of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and Melvin and Howard (1980), is still unknown. The Princeton graduate earned his big break after being chosen by Milos Forman to adapt Ken Kesey's book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, co-writer Lawrence Hauben, after writing multiple episodes for various television shows. In 1976, he and Hauben received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for their contribution to the film's script. Danny DeVito, who played Martini in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, told ET, 'Working with Bo was a dream.' It was an honor to know him.'
