A playwright, actor, and film director, he was associated with many films, including the original “The Right Stuff” and the lead in the filmed version of his own play, “Fool for Love.” His plays include Curse of the Starving Class, Buried Child, True West, The Tooth of Crime, and A Lie of the Mind.
