Horton Foote(1916-2009)

His screenplays for O Sol é para Todos (1962) and A Força do Carinho (1983) both won Oscars for Best Screenplay. Robert Duvall appeared in both films.

I've redone plays of mine and made changes. A play is a living thing, and I'd never say I wouldn't rewrite years later. Tennessee Williams did that all the time and it's distressing, because I'd like the play to be out there in its finished form. And then you also have new interpretations. At the same time, you do realize how much you are at the mercy of your interpreters.
