A long-unproduced screenplay by Larry David from the early 1980s has appeared online, revealing an early story idea that later echoed in his hit television series.
The script, titled Prognosis: Negative, follows a man named Leo Black who avoids commitment until he learns an ex-girlfriend is terminally ill and decides to reconnect with her. A 1983 draft was posted by a Reddit user in Rochester, New York, who purchased the document on eBay from a seller of unpublished material.
