Richard Levinson (1934-1987) and William Link (1933-) were a prolific writing team best known for ''[[Columbo (TV)|Columbo]]'' and ''[[Murder, She Wrote]]''. They formed their working partnership while still in high school, and spent their early career writing episodes for well-known shows like ''[[Alfred Hitchcock Presents]]'', ''Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse'', ''Dr. Kildare'' and ''[[The Fugitive (TV series)|The Fugitive]]''. They created a number of other television series, including ''Mannix'', ''McCloud'', ''Ellery Queen'' (based on the [[Ellery Queen]] stories), and ''Blacke's Magic'' (about a [[Magician Detective|crime-solving magician]]).
 
In addition, they wrote scripts for two theatrical films and numerous made-for-television movies. Some dealt with crime, but others dealt with social issues and historical events, such as "The Execution of Private Slovik" (about the only U.S. soldier executed for desertion in World War II), and "Crisis at Central High" (set in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1958). They won many awards, including two Emmys, two Golden Globe Awards, two Edgar Allan Poe Awards from the Mystery Writers of America, the Writers Guild of America Award, and the Peabody Award.
