Lynda Obst, the veteran film and TV producer whose work includes rom-com classics “Sleepless in Seattle” and “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” among many others, has died. She was 74 years old.
“My mom was a trailblazer and a fierce advocate for women. Also, she was an amazing mother, sister and best friend,” the industry stalwart’s son, Oly Obst, said in a statement to media. “[My wife] Julie and I are incredibly grateful that she was my mom and that my daughters got to have her as a grandmother. We will miss her.”
Obst died Tuesday while surrounded by loved ones in her Los Angeles home.
