Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this time.
Born in the small town of Colfax, Washington, Osborne spent his childhood weekends at the movie theater.
He even worked for Lucille Ball, who encouraged Osborne to pursue writing.
With the launch of TCM in 1994, however, Osborne found his true calling.
His contributions made TCM stand for something more than a TV channel.
