Blake Edwards
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
Blake Edwards (1922-2010) was a renown American film director, screenwriter and producer. Some of his works include Breakfast at Tiffany's, Days of Wine and Roses, 10, Victor/Victoria, Darling Lili, and the Pink Panther comedy series.[1] He married actress Julie Andrews in 1969, and they worked on several films together. Edwards fell ill in with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome(ME/CFS) in 1983, while filming the Ted Danson vehicle A Fine Mess, and never recovered.[2][3]
He is a featured patient in the 2000 documentary, I Remember Me, directed by Kim A. Snyder, where he talks about his illness, its effect on his work, and his failed efforts to raise research money.[4]
