Loved him. Read many of Sam's plays and always enjoyed him on screen.
Too soon, Sam, too soon. Rest easy.

Loved his work in The Right Stuff and a play he wrote years ago about two brothers called True West that I saw on PBS (been trying to find it ever since — it featured amazing performances by Gary Sinise and John Malkovich).
A truly gifted actor and writer. RIP Sam Shepard.

TELL ME ABOUT IT. That PBS broadcast of True West was an amazing bit of theater, and was "the right stuff" to start careers for Malkovich and Sinise. So good I watched the repeat few nights later.
As a boy growing up in San Francisco, Shepard was known around the area, particularly after DAYS OF HEAVEN came out. I think I'll have to watch that and THE RIGHT STUFF this week. (Criterion Collection has a great BD of the former.)

Finally! I've mentioned that show to several people over the years but you're the first one who knew what I was talking about.

The Right Stuff is one of my favorite movies. Too many people dying that young so far this year!

Can't be sure but my memory is telling me that it was part of the American Playhouse series.
