Bo Goldman, an Academy Award-winning screenwriter for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) and Melvin and Howard (1980), died Tuesday in Helendale, Calif.

He was 90. Director Todd Field, his son-in-law, confirmed the death, but did not give a cause. Goldman’s career took off when director Milos Foreman read his first screenplay and invited him to adapt Ken Kesey’s “Cuckoo’s Nest” novel for film.

The resulting script shared screenwriting credit with Lawrence Hauben and won the Oscar for Best Screenplay Adapted from Other Material.

The film was also named Best Picture, and earned Oscars for Forman, lead actor Jack Nicholson, and Louise Fletcher, who played Nurse Ratched.
