Loring Mandel, a playwright and screenwriter who won two primetime Emmys for his work, died on March 24. He was 91.

Mandel died of cancer at his home in Lenox, Mass., his son Alan Mandel told Variety.

The Chicago native, who was born May 5, 1928, went on to earn a total of five Emmy nominations throughout his career, winning two. He won his first primetime Emmy in 1968 for his work on “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night“ on “CBS Playhouse” and in 2001 for the telefilm “Conspiracy,” starring Kenneth Branagh, Clare Bullus and Stanley Tucci. He also received a Peabody and BAFTA award for the TV film.

In his early years, Mandel wrote for local and national radio in Chicago on shows such as the “Jack Benny” show and the “Today Show” with Dave Garraway. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and serving in the Korean War, Mandel moved to New York where he began his career as a writer.
