Judith Perelman Rossner (March 31, 1935 - August 9, 2005) was an American novelist, best known for her 1975 novel Looking for Mr. Goodbar , which was inspired by the murder of Roseann Quinn and examined the underside of the seventies sexual liberation movement. The novel was made into a movie starring Diane Keaton in 1977. Though Looking for Mr. Goodbar remained Rossner's best known and best selling work, she continued to write. Her most successful post-Goodbar novel was 1983's August, about the relationship between a woman and her psychoanalyst, who has more emotional troubles than her patient. Rossner died on August 9, 2005, from complications of diabetes and leukemia at the age of 70.
