DIRECTED BY MICHAEL ALMEREYDA |
SAM SHEPARD DIRECTS SEAN PENN, NICK NOLTE, WOODY HARRELSON
AND CHEECH MARIN in his play, “The Late Henry Moss” at San Francisco’s
Magic Theater. Penn and Nolte play estranged brothers, reunited by the death
of their father (James Gammon in flashback scenes). The notoriously enigmatic
Shepard — part laconic, snaggletoothed cowboy, part impossibly glamorous
movie star – is put at ease by filmmaker Michael Almereyda (HAMLET; NADJA).
Shepard speaks movingly of his own father, a onetime Fulbright scholar who succumbed
to alcoholism. Penn, Nolte and Shepard recall, with considerable humor, their
first realization that acting would be their life’s work. Penn attributes
it all to an actor who showed up at this high school in ”zipper boots”;
Shepard to his infatuation with “that thing Burt Lancaster did with his
teeth”; and Nolte to reading Stanislavsky while having a nervous breakdown.
