Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and actor Sam Shepard, died at his Kentucky home Thursday, Fox News learned Monday. "I was writing basically for actors," Shepard told The Associated Press in a 2011 interview. "As far as I'm concerned, Broadway just does not exist," Shepard told Playboy in 1970 — though many of his later plays would end up there. As Shepard grew as a playwright, he returned again and again to meditations on violence. Besides his plays, Shepard wrote short stories and a full-length work of fiction, "The One Inside," which came out earlier this year.
