Ludlum died in 2001 in Naples, Florida of a heart attack. The Bourne movies, starring Matt Damon in the title role, have been commercially and critically successful ( The Bourne Ultimatum won three Academy Awards in 2008), although the story lines depart significantly from the source material. A non-Ludlum book supposedly inspired by his unused notes, The Hades Factor, has also been made into a mini-series. From that point of view, yes, I guess, I am theatrical."Some of Ludlum's novels have been made into films and mini-series, including The Osterman Weekend, The Holcroft Covenant, The Apocalypse Watch, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum. I think it's all suspense and what-happens-next. He once remarked: "I equate suspense and good theater in a very similar way. His theatrical experience may have contributed to his understanding of the energy, escapism and action that the public wanted in a novel. Prior to becoming an author, he had been a United States Marine, theatrical actor and producer. While at Wesleyan, Ludlum joined the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity.
He was educated at The Rectory School then Cheshire Academy and Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut.
