Horton Foote

The New York Times reports that playwright Horton Foote has died at age 92, in Hartford, Connecticut.

In a body of work for which he won the Pulitzer Prize and two Oscars, Mr. Foote was known as a writer’s writer, an author who never abandoned his vision or altered his simple, homespun style even when Broadway and Hollywood temporarily turned their backs on him.
