William Goodhart, a renowned and accomplished playwright and screenwriter, has made a lasting impact on the world of Broadway and cinema. His fascination with theology and the mysterious realm of the occult served as the catalyst for the conception of his notable works, including Generation (1969) and Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977).
Inspirations for his stories often stemmed from the philosophical and spiritual writings of Teilhard de Chardin, a French philosopher and paleontologist, who proposed the idea that humanity and nature would eventually merge into a unified oneness with God. This profound concept resonated deeply with Goodhart, influencing the themes and motifs that permeated his creative output.
