Monday, Dec. 29, 2008, was St. Thomas Becket’s Day.
On that day in this journal there was a note from the New York Times on the screenwriter of the 1969 film “A Walk With Love and Death”–
“He feuded with… John Huston, who gave the lead female role in ‘Walk’ to his teenage daughter… against Mr. Wasserman’s wishes.”
Liz Evett
WEST RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) – Liz Evett, a teen who inspired people across the nation by creating a “bucket list” of things she wanted to do before she died, has died. She was 18.
Her mother, Angie Ivey, said Evett died Monday [Dec. 29, 2008] of leukemia. The West Richland teen was diagnosed with cancer nearly three years ago and relapsed in April.
When she stopped responding to treatment in June, Evett created a “bucket list” of things she wanted to do before dying and spent the last six months crossing them off.
Her list included feeding giraffes, meeting Seattle Mariner Ichiro Suzuki and graduating from high school.
