RIP Sam Shepard. I didn't know he had Lou Gehrig's.

I was just on his website last week since I had not been there in a couple of years. I thought he was one of the best looking sexiest men of Hollywood.

He will be so missed.

Sad to hear about Sam. I used to have a crush on him many many years ago. He will be missed.

I thought he and Jessica Lange lived together for years but never married, although I could be wrong. Shepard was married to someone else when he met Lange.

When I first saw this thread title, I thought it was about Sam Shepperd, the Cleveland doc who (IMO) killed his wife and that he'd died a long time ago (which he had).

Remember him as Dolly Parton's husband in Steel Magnolias?

I agree with the post above who wrote he was one of the best-looking guys around, and also so talented as an actor and a playwright. Gone too soon.

From NBC news:

"He is survived by his writer son Jesse, from his marriage to actress O-Lan Jones, his other son Walker and daughter Hannah, from his 30-year relationship with actress Jessica Lange. Shepard and Lange met on the set of the movie "Frances" and were a couple until 2009, when they separated."

@Pqfan He was, although a bit too lean for my tastes in men. I don't like to outweigh them by 30 lbs and I don't my jeans to be bigger than theirs in the thighs!

Remember him from Baby Boom and Steel Magnolias, had no idea he was ill. I think Lange has 2 children with him, but they were never married.

@Shelbelle Did you read my posts above?

Interesting articles and good photos about his longtime relationship with Jessica Lange in People online.
