David Seidler, screenwriter and Oscar winner for The King's Speech, dies while fishing. The winner of an Oscar for his work in 'The King's speech' has died in New Zealand.
'If he had the chance, it's exactly how he would have written it,' says his manager Jeff Aghassi. The film tells the life of King George VI of England, a monarch who, like Seidlers as a child, was a stutterer. The British-American screenwriter emigrated to the United States at the beginning of the Second World War.
