Budd Schulberg, the son of a studio boss who defined the Hollywood hustle with his novel “What Makes Sammy Run?” and later proved himself a player with his Oscar-winning screenplay for “On the Waterfront,” died Wednesday at age 95.
His wife, Betsy Schulberg, said he died of natural causes at his home in Westhampton Beach, on Long Island. She said he was taken to a nearby medical center, where doctors unsuccessfully tried to revive him.
“He was very loved and cherished,” she said.
