R.I.P. Horton Foote

I see at NPR that Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and Oscar-winning writer Horton Foote has died. They report:

Foote was 92. Foote died in his apartment in Hartford where he was preparing work on a production for next fall at the nonprofit theater.

He wrote the screenplays for To Kill a Mockingbird, The Trip to Bountiful, and Tender Mercies, jewels all three.

NPR has an audio interview with him.
