Peter Masterson, Award -
Winning Actor,
Director, Screenwriter , |
|
| Masterson made his
New York stage debut in "Call Me By My Rightful Name" in 1961 and has
subsequently worked in films, theater and TV. He was one of the husbands in
"The Stepford Wives" (1974), earned praise in the leading role in the stage
production "The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald" (1967) and in the TV-movie "A
Question of Guilt" (CBS, 1978). In 1978, Masterson co-wrote (with Carol Hall
and Larry L King) and co-directed (with Tommy Tune) the Broadway musical "The
Best Little Whorehouse in Texas", which brought Masterson's wife, Carlin Glynn
a Tony Award as Best Featured Actress. |

He and King also wrote the 1982 feature
adaptation and the unsuccessful 1994 stage sequel, "The Best Little Whorehouse
Goes Public" (co-directed by Masterson and Tommy Tune). Masterson persuaded
screenwriter-playwright Horton Foote to allow him to helm the feature version
of Foote's "The Trip to Bountiful" (1985). This finely acted (particularly by
Geraldine Page and Rebecca DeMornay) drama earned praise for Masterson in his
directing debut. Minor misfires like "Full Moon in Blue Water" (1988) and
"Night Game" (1989) were soon forgotten, though the stellar cast of "Blood Red"
(1989) made its prominent failure smart all the more. Masterson returned to
form with his assured handling of the potent "Convicts" (1991), which re-teamed
him with screenwriter-producer Foote. He also helmed the TV-movie version of
Foote's play "Lily Dale" (Showtime, 1996) that starred his daughter, Mary
Stuart Masterson. Peter Masterson is happily married to Tony-award winner
actress Carlin Glyn - both attended the screening of the movie ‘Whiskey
School' in Montauk, stayed at Gurney's Inn and both were interviewed by Ingrid
Lemme for the American Dream® Show. The interviews took place in the
privacy of the famous Lookout Cottage at Gurney's with the ocean as the
back-drop. Peter Masterson's latest movie:
