'Jurassic Park,' 'ER' creator robbed at gunpoint in his home

SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Author Michael Crichton was robbed at gunpoint and
tied up by two men who ransacked his home, but he wasn't harmed, his
publicist said.
The author of ``Jurassic Park'' and creator of the television series
``ER'' was robbed shortly before 5 a.m. Monday. Police wouldn't confirm
that Crichton was the victim but said the crime was committed at a home
believed to be owned by the author.
``An incident did occur, but everybody is fine, and that's all I can say
because a kid is involved,'' publicist Joseph Marich told the Santa Monica
Daily Press. Crichton, 59, has a daughter in her early teens.
Police said some items were taken from the house but the value was not
immediately determined.
Since his 1971 novel, ``The Andromeda Strain,'' was made into a movie,
Crichton has enjoyed a string of literary and Hollywood successes.
More than a dozen of his novels and original screenplays have been turned
into feature films, including ``Twister,'' ``Disclosure'' and ``West
World.'' The 1969 graduate of Harvard Medical School is also the creator
of TV's long-running series ``ER.''
Earlier this month, Crichton's wife filed for divorce to end their 13-year
marriage. Anne Marie Martin Crichton and her husband have lived apart
since August 2001, when they moved from New York to Santa Monica, court
documents show.
