Vincent Musetto
American journalist (1941–2015)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vincent Musetto (May 1941 – June 9, 2015) was an American newspaper editor and film critic for the New York Post. He retired from the New York Post in 2011.[1] He was best known for having written the headline Headless body in topless bar in 1983. The events inspiring the headline served as the premise for a 1995 American black comedy by the same title, written by Peter Koper and directed by James Bruce.[2] After the film was released, Musetto said he didn't know what the fuss was all about. Musetto felt that "Headless" was not the best headline he wrote, instead preferring "Granny Slain in Pink Pajamas".[3] Musetto died on June 9, 2015, from pancreatic cancer.[4][5]
