He had a daughter who was murdered. By her stalker boyfriend, I think it was. She played the daughter in "Poltergeist".

and a son named Griffin Dunne, he starred with Madonna in Whose that girl, but I think he directs these days.

I loved reading DD in Vanity Fair. :(

I remember reading "The Two Mrs. Grenvilles" when it first released, as well as "An Inconvenient Woman" and "A Season In Purgatory". He was a hell of a good writer.
