Stu Silver, the screenplay writer for the 1987 comedy Throw Momma From The Train, died July 18 in Rochester, NY from complications of prostate cancer. He was 76, his son said.

“Throw Momma From The Train” was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s “Strangers on a Train,” in which two people try to solve each other’s problems by murdering a target for each other.
The film was Danny DeVito’s directorial debut, It was a box office success, and was nominated for several acting awards.
Silver’s other credits in acting and producing included the TV shows “It’s A Living” (1980-1989), “Brothers” (1984-1985) and “Good Grief (1990-1991). He won two CableACE Awards for “Brothers” and “Comic Relief” and a Peoples Choice Award for “Webster.”
Silver moved back to Rochester later in his life and was active there in local theater.
He is survived by his son, Daniel.
