Horton Foote Has Died...

[Zim Hosein]

Update | 5:20 p.m. Horton Foote, who chronicled America?s wistful odyssey through the 20th century in plays and films mostly set in a small town in Texas and left a literary legacy as one of the country?s foremost storytellers, died in Hartford, Conn., on Wednesday. He was 92, said his daughter, Hallie Foote.

In screenplays for such movies as ?Tender Mercies,? ?To Kill a Mockingbird? and ?The Trip to Bountiful,? and in plays like ?The Young Man From Atlanta? and his nine-play cycle ?The Orphans? Home,? Mr. Foote depicted the way ordinary people shoulder the ordinary burdens of life, finding drama in the resilience by which they carry on in the face of change, economic hardship, disappointment, loss and death. His work earned him a Pulitzer Prize and two Academy Awards.

Sad.

And the fact that this thread isn't 10 pages long, like the "Would you sniff Megan Fox's used TP? I WOULD" thread, is telling.
