Lista de Personas Famosas que murieron en 1987

Vera Louise Caspary fue una escritora estadounidense de novelas, obras de teatro, guiones y cuentos. Su novela más conocida, Laura, se convirtió en una exitosa película. Aunque afirmó que no era una escritora de misterio "real", sus novelas fusionaron efectivamente la búsqueda de identidad y amor de las mujeres con tramas de asesinato. La independencia es la clave de sus protagonistas, con sus novelas que giran en torno a mujeres amenazadas, pero que resultan no ser ni víctimas ni damiselas rescatadas.

Sheridan de Raismes Gibney was a writer and producer in theater and film. He attended Amherst College and received an honorary M.A. from it. He later served as an instructor at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. He received Academy Awards for The Story of Louis Pasteur. He began in film in 1931, but tended to see himself more as a playwright. He particularly had a fondness for Restoration comedy. That said he would be President of the Screen Writers Guild twice. As a member of the League of American Writers he suffered from the Hollywood blacklist. Jack Warner later retracted the claim Gibney was a Communist and Gibney had proposed the group criticize Soviet actions against Finland although that ultimately was unanimously voted down. In his later life Gibney did work in television.
