The writer suffered a heart attack in his Manhattan apartment on Monday, his agent Phyllis Westberg confirmed.

"Rosemary's Baby" is one of my favorite horror films.  "Stepford Wives" was pretty good, but not nearly as great as RB.

I knew nothing about Ira Levin until he died.

This went over me unti I was watching George Steanopoulos and he was on "In Memoriam"  The Stepford Wives" was brilliant.  His writing was not for the faint of heart, sadly he was part of a dying breed    :\'(
