    Sam Shepard: US actor and playwright dies aged 73

    RIP



    Shepard wrote more than 40 plays and won the Pulitzer Prize for drama for Buried Child in 1979.

    He went on to be nominated for the best supporting actor Oscar for 1983's The Right Stuff and starred in films like Black Hawk Down as well as co-writing 1984's Paris, Texas.

    He died at home in Kentucky on Thursday, his family told the Associated Press news agency.

    is first major acting role was in Terrence Malik's Days of Heaven in 1978, in which he starred alongside Richard Gere.

    Other film credits include Steel Magnolias, The Pelican Brief and The Accidental Husband.

    More recently, he was seen in two series of Netflix thriller Bloodline.

    Shepard also appears in psychological thriller Never Here, which had its premiere last month.

    “The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner
