Director Michael Crichton, right, and producer Paul Lazarus III, are shown on the set of "Westworld" in 1973. Crichton penned such historic and prehistoric science fantasies as "Jurassic Park," "Timeline" and "The Andromeda Strain." He was a medical doctor before he became an author. In 1994, he created the award-winning TV hospital series "ER." He's even had a dinosaur named for him, Crichton's ankylosaur.
