II never found his appeal. Yes he wrote acclaimed plays that actors loved more than audiences, and he looked good in some early eighties movies, but he had an odd reserve. He was too waspy for his times. And yes he had not done anything relevant in decades.

[quote]Shepard's Cowboy Mouth – a collaboration with his then-lover Patti Smith – was staged at The American Place Theater in April 1971, providing early exposure for the future punk rock singer. The story and characters were loosely inspired by their relationship, and after opening night, he abandoned the production and fled to New England without a word to anyone involved.
I wonder what happened there...

Recall a 'Vanity Fair' photoshoot by Bruce Weber of Shepard and Lange which captured their coltish glamour.
Can't think of any other Pulitzer authors who were also arresting screen actors, sad loss.

I'm sure Jessica is heartbroken. They were together for over 30 years before separating. Still, they remained in contact and occasionally intimate.
Sam wrote about Lange visiting him during a deep depression. He was solemn and expressed his guilt over mistreating and cheating on her. Apparently, they went to Target and bought a bunch of "Breaking Bad" seasons and binged on it, intermittently enjoying comfort foods and making love.
Before she left, they embraced and she apparently told him that she knew he'd be one of his strippers not long after she was gone. It was a bittersweet passage.

A number of famous guys played the role of the guy in Shepard's "Curse of the Starving Class" who enters naked carrying a lamb, including Bradley Whitford and Bill Pullman. I would have liked to have seen that! Henry Thomas from "ET" played him in the movie, but I believe they didn't really show the nudity.
A older friend of mine was a replacement in the original cast of "Oh! Calcutta!" because he wanted to do the younger man in the "Rock Garden" sketch written by Shepard. Of course, my friend was hot, so he probably also wanted to show his bod, too, but he is a serious actor as well.

He was one of those 1970's actors who did not even bother to show up when he was finally Oscar-nominated at the ceremony in 1984. He always seemed above it all and humorless - if he was active today he' probably never bother with Andy Cohen's show to promote a movie. Humorless bastard.

I had a book of Sam Shepard's plays I received as a gift from a friend who was a theater geek. I appreciated his plays early on.
I agree that True West is his best play. I initially saw it as a mad-for-TV movie with Gary Sinise and John Malkovich. I've been a big fan of both actors ever since.
I finally saw True West live earlier this year on Broadway with Ethan Hake and Paul Dano. It was riveting.
A few months ago I saw Curse of The Starving Class at the Signature Theater. Gilles Geary made an impression.
