It was on this day (August 27) in 1980 that Douglas Kenney, co-founder and first editor of the National Lampoon and later a co-writer of the movie "Animal House" and producer of "Caddyshack," died after falling off a cliff in Hawaii. He was believed to be 33.
Kenney was not the first prominent editor to fall to his death. Among others who either fell or jumped: Laird Shields Goldsborough of Time magazine, in 1950, and Margaret Case of Vogue, in 1971.
