Horton Foote was one person who deserved the reputation of being a writer’s writer. In the course of penning over 60 plays and films, he won not only the Pulitzer Prize, but two Academy Awards. Most of his work was set in the fictive town of Harrison, Texas. Robert Duvall, who made his screen debut in “To Kill a Mockingbird” and then won an Oscar for best actor in “Tender Mercies” (both of whose screenplays Mr. Foote wrote) perhaps said it best: “Horton was the great American voice. His work was native to his own region, but it was also universal.” Horton Foote died at the age of 92. You can hear Leonard Lopate’s interview with Horton Foote from 1999 – as well as a 2008 interview with his daughter, the actress Hallie Foote, who starred in the Broadway production of “Dividing the Estate.”
