Keith Waterhouse dies at 80

Waterhouse's family said he died peacefully in his sleep early Friday at his London home. Waterhouse had his first major success in 1959 with "Billy Liar," the story of a funeral parlor worker who escapes into a world of fantasy. It became a hit 1963 movie and spawned a television series. Waterhouse also helped write some of the best-known British films of the 1960s, including "A Kind of Loving" and "Whistle Down the Wind" as well as the play "Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell".
