Norman Lear, legendary television producer of “All in the Family” and more, dead at 101



Norman Lear, one of the most prolific producers in television history, has died. He was 101 years old.

“Norman lived a life of curiosity, tenacity, and empathy,” his family said in a statement. “He deeply loved our country and spent a lifetime helping to preserve its founding ideals of justice and equality for all. He began his career in the earliest days of live television and discovered a passion for writing about the real lives of Americans, not a glossy ideal.”
