Larry McMurtry was an American novelist, essayist, and screenwriter whose work was set mostly in the Old West or contemporary Texas. He was best known for Lonesome Dove, a 1985 Western about retired Texas Rangers driving cattle to Montana, which won the Pulitzer Prize. Earlier novels such as The Last Picture Show and Terms of Endearment examined small-town Texas life, and both became films. He shared an Academy Award with Diana Ossana for the screenplay of Brokeback Mountain.
