Candida Donadio

A literary agent, Donadio's first task in the business in 1957 was to bring Joseph Heller's first novel Catch 18 to the world. However, since Leon Uris had just released a novel titled Mila 18, Heller's was renamed to Catch-22, based on Donadio's birthday (October 22) -- and a catchphrase was born. She also worked with other big-name writers, including Thomas Pynchon, William Gaddis and Mario Puzo. Donadio died January 20 from cancer. She was 71.
