Aghassi said, “David was in the place he loved most in the world — New Zealand — doing what gave him the greatest peace, which was fly-fishing. If given the chance, it is exactly as he would have scripted it.”
Aghassi said that Seidler was still very interested in writing screenplays and that he had many movies, limited series, and feature films in development at the time of his death.
In addition to his wife, Seidler is left by his children, Marc and Maya.
What Had David Seidler Become Famous For?
People knew David Seidler as the writer of “The King’s Speech.” King George VI (Colin Firth), who had a serious stutter, got better with the help of Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush).
The movie is based on a true story. Around 1936, George’s brother gave up the throne. That same year, Logue helped the king get ready for his first radio speech during the war.
The script was inspired by how he overcame a stutter as a child. At the 2011 Academy Awards, he got an Oscar for original script. The movie also won Best Picture, Best Actor for Firth, and Best Director for Tom Hooper. There was also a play based on the movie, which has been put on in four countries, including London’s West End.
Francis Ford Coppola’s Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988), Madeline: Lost in Paris (1999), and Quest for Camelot (1998) were some of Seidler’s other works. He also wrote The Queen of Spades (2016) and Onasiss: The Richest Man in the World (1988).
