Larry McMurtry, who won an Oscar for penning Brokeback Mountain, earned a nomination for The Last Picture Show and authored books that spawned Emmy winner Lonesome Dove and Best Picture Oscar winner Terms of Endearment, died Thursday of heart failure. He was 84. The news was confirmed to media outlets by family spokeswoman and 42West CEO Amanda Lundberg.

McMurtry — whose son is the singer-songwriter James McMurtry — won the Pulitzer Prize for writing Lonesome Done, which became a popular 1989 CBS miniseries and spawned a sequel and a syndicated series, and was awarded the 2014 National Humanities Medal by President Obama.

McCormack was so good in that role that if you were to see him on the show, and compare him to his roles now, you wouldn’t think you were looking at the same person. Anyways, McCormack may or may not have grown back the beard for his latest movie, the supernatural flick “Barricade”, which he’ll be fronting for WWE Studios, the same studio behind all those movies starring their wrestlers that...
