    Rear Window Screenwriter John Michael Hayes


    BC-Obit-Hayes,0268
    Screenwriter for Hitchcock's "Rear Window" dies
    Eds: Moving on general news and entertainment services.
    CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- Screenwriter John Michael Hayes, nominated
    for an Academy Awards for the classic Alfred Hitchcock film "Rear
    Window" and for "Peyton Place," has died at age 89.
    Hayes, who was involved in Dartmouth College's film studies
    program, died of natural causes Wednesday at a retirement community
    in Hanover, John Wilson of Rand Wilson Funeral Home said Monday.
    Hayes also had collaborated with Hitchcock on "To Catch a
    Thief," "The Trouble with Harry" and the 1956 remake of
    Hitchcock's "The Man Who Knew Too Much." His most recent writing
    credit is the 1998 film "Iron Will."
    Hayes was born in Worcester, Mass., in 1919. He got his start
    writing for newspapers and radio. After paying his way through
    school at Massachusetts State College, Hayes moved to Hollywood.
    There he landed a job writing for Lucille Ball's radio program "My
    Favorite Husband" and the serial drama "The Adventures of Sam
    Spade."
    His radio work caught the attentions of Universal Studios, which
    hired him as a screenwriter in the early 1950s.
    Hayes donated his collection of scripts, photographs, letters
    and clippings from his Hollywood career to Dartmouth College in
    1990.
