WILLIAM BARRETT, AUTHOR OF 'LILIES OF THE FIELD': - September 17, 1986
WILLIAM E. BARRETT, 85, author of the best-selling novels Lilies of the Field and The Left Hand of God, died Sunday.
Barrett wrote 18 novels, more than 200 short stories, three biographies and a non-fiction book on airplanes. But he is best known for the two spiritually uplifting stories, which were made into hit movies.
Lilies of the Field is the story of a black drifter who meets a group of German refugee nuns and helps them build a chapel.
The 1963 film of that name was a box office hit, earning five Academy Award nominations and an Oscar for actor Sidney Poitier.
The film The Left Hand of God featured Humphrey Bogart as a man who masquerades as a priest to escape a Chinese warlord.
