Career

Shepard became very much involved in New York's off-off-Broadway theater scene, beginning at the age of nineteen. Although his plays were staged at several off-off-Broadway venues, he was most closely connected with Theatre Genesis, housed at St. Mark's Church in the East Village. He acted occasionally in those days, but his interests were almost strictly confined to writing, up until the late 1970's. Most of his writing was for the stage, but he had early screen-writing credits for Me and My Brother (1968) and Zabriskie Pointe, directed by Antonioni (1970). His early science-fiction play, The Unseen Hand, influenced Richard O'Brien's Rocky Horror Show. In 1976 Shepard relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area and was named playwright in residence at the Magic Theatre where many of his works received their premier productions. Notable work includes Buried Child, Curse of the Starving Class in 1978, True West in 1980 and A Lie of the Mind in 1985. He also continued with his collaboration with Bob Dylan that started with the surrealist film Renaldo and Clara on an epic, 11 minute song entitled "Brownsville Girl", included on the 1986 Knocked Out Loaded album and later compilations.

Shepard began his acting career in earnest when he was cast as the handsome but doomed land baron in Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven (1978), opposite Richard Gere and Brooke Adams. This led to other important films and roles, most notably his portrayal of Chuck Yeager in The Right Stuff, earning him an Oscar nomination (1984). By 1986, one of his plays, Fool for Love, was being made into a film directed by Robert Altman; his play A Lie of the Mind was on Broadway with an all-star cast including Harvey Keitel and Geraldine Page; he was living with Jessica Lange; and he was working steadily as a film actor -- all of which put him on the cover of Newsweek magazine. Earlier in his life, during the rebellion of the 1960's, Shepard had vowed famously, "I never want to be on the cover of Newsweek." Things had changed.

In 1986, Shepard was elected to The American Academy of Arts and Letters. The American Academy of Arts and Letters is an organization whose goal is to foster, assist, and sustain an interest in American literature, music, and art. ...

In 2000, Shepard decided to repay a debt of gratitude to the Magic Theatre by staging his play The Late Henry Moss as a benefit in San Francisco. The cast included Nick Nolte, Sean Penn, Woody Harrelson, and Cheech Marin. The limited, three-month run was sold out.

One of the major artistic influences on Shepard has been actor-director Joseph Chaikin, founder of a group called the Open Theatre. The two have often worked together on various projects, and Chaikin has been a fruitful mentor for Shepard.

Shepard as a director

Earlier in his career, Shepard did not direct his own plays. His earliest plays were mainly directed by Ralph Cook, the founder of Theatre Genesis. Later, in San Francisco, Shepard formed a fruitful playwright-director relationship with Robert Woodruff, who directed the premiere of Buried Child (1978), among other plays. During the 1970's, though, Shepard decided that his plays would be staged most skillfully if he directed them himself. He has since directed many of his own plays, but with a few rare exceptions, he has not directed plays by other playwrights. He has also directed two films but apparently does not see film direction as a major interest. Buried Child is a play by Sam Shepard that won the 1979 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and launched Shepard to national fame as a playwright. ...

Personal life

When Shepard first arrived in New York, he lived with actress Joyce Aaron. He later married actress O-Lan Jones (born O-Lan Johnson, alias O-Lan Johnson Dark, alias O-Lan Barna) from 1969 to 1984, with whom he has one son, Jesse Mojo Shepard (born 1970). After the end of his relationship with the singer and musician Patti Smith, Shepard met Oscar-winning actress Jessica Lange on the set of a movie they both starred in, Frances. He moved in with her in 1983. They have two children, Hannah Jane (born 1985) and Samuel Walker Shepard (born 1987). For the Stargate SG-1 episode, see 1969 (Stargate SG-1). ...
