Obit: Producer of Oscar-winning film had dyslexia
June 24th, 2008
From The Vancouver Sun:
William Vince, producer of the Oscar-winning film Capote, died on Saturday of cancer at the age of 44.
Among other accomplishments, Vince was remembered for learning to adapt to severe dyslexia. Although he never graduated from high school, he learned to read and write with the help of his mother and a private tutor.
Vince often credited his dyslexia for having developed in him a finely tuned sense of intuition and discipline. His brother, Robert, said Vince’s severe dyslexia gave him a strong sense of compassion for people facing adversity.
