Profile created on April 11, 2001.

Sam lives with Jessica Lang and they have two children, Hannah and Walker.
Sam suffers from aviophobia - the fear of flying.
In 1979, Sam won a Pulitzer Price in Drama for his three-act play "Buried Child."
Sam was once married to O-lan Jones. They had one son.
Sam is a published author as well. He writes plays, music, poetry and prose.
Sam and his family live on a horse ranch in Minnesota.
His most recent play, "The Late Henry Moss," drew big names out to audition for a part. Sean Penn, Woody Harrelson and Nick Nolte star in the family-wrenching drama.
In the 70's, Sam would write down everything. He carried around pocket-sized notebooks and would write anything interesting he heard. As a joke, one of his playwriting classes gave him a gift...a box of the tiny notebooks.
