Hollywood writer A.J. Carothers, best-known for the 1987 Michael J. Fox movie "The Secret of My Succe" and Fred MacMurray's 1968 film "The Happiest Millionaire," has died. He was 75.
Carothers died of cancer Monday at his Los Angeles home, his son Andrew said Wednesday.
He wrote more than 100 other motion pictures, television shows and stage plays during his 40-year career.
A dashing Southern gentleman, Carothers was once called "one of Hollywood's most successful TV and motion picture writers (and) one of its best dressed men," his son said.
…
Carothers is survived by his wife of 47 years, Caryl; three sons, Andrew of San Francisco and Cameron and Christopher of Los Angeles; brother Gibson Carothers of Houston; and sister Lesley Norris of San Diego.
A funeral is planned Monday at First Presbyterian Church in Houston. A Los Angeles memorial service will be held at 2:30 p.m. April 29 at Westwood Presbyterian Church.
