The 2010 film drew on his own experience with a stutter. It capped a screenwriting career that also included work on “Tucker: The Man and His Dream.”
David Seidler at the British Academy Film Awards in 2011. He won best original screenplay for “The King's Speech,” which also received the prize for best film. David Seidler, who drew on his boyhood struggle overcoming a stutter to write the Oscar-winning screenplay for “The King’s Speech,” the hit 2010 drama about King George VI’s effort to subdue a stammer while rallying the British people against Hitler, died March 16 during a fishing trip in New Zealand. He was 86.
Working with a speech therapist, he tried to treat the condition using some of the techniques he later incorporated in “The King’s Speech,” like speaking with a mouthful of marbles or smoking cigarettes. His breakthrough, which he also used for the screenplay, came when he discovered cursing as a means of catharsis.“I resolved that if I was going to stutter for the rest of my life, people were going to be stuck listening to me,” he.
According to Mr. Seidler, the decades-long process of conceiving and writing the screenplay was worth it for a story that needed “a more mature writer” than the one he was when he started.“This required going back into the pain and the loneliness and the isolation and frustration of being a stutterer,” he. “And being a stutterer is rather like having a very bad toothache. When you’ve got the toothache, all you’re thinking about is ‘Wow, my tooth really hurts.’ All I can think about is that pain.
