Goldman was openly critical of the film industry and wrote several nonfiction books and memoirs about his experiences with it. He wrote novels, plays, and screenplays, most notably Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, for which he won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 1969.
After helping his brother and roommate with several scripts for musicals, Goldman wrote his first novel, The Temple of Gold, and his career took off from there. Throughout college, Goldman edited his school literary magazine and took writing courses, but even his own magazine wouldn’t publish his anonymously submitted written work. Following his discharge, he earned his Master of Arts at Columbia University. Goldman attended Oberlin College and soon after graduation was drafted into the Army.
His father was a successful businessman while Goldman was very young, but due to alcoholism he lost his business and committed suicide when Goldman was in high school.
