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; he reported "Headless" was not his best headline.[3] Musetto died on June 9, 2015, from pancreatic cancer.[4][5]
