James

Leo Herlihy (/ˈhɜːrləhi/; February 27, 1927 – October 21, 1993) was actor. Herlihy is known for his novels Midnight Cowboy and All Fall Down,

and his play Blue Denim, all of

which were adapted for cinema. Other publications include The Season of the Witch and

several short stories. Herlihy was

born into in 1927. He was raised in

Detroit and Chillicothe, Ohio. He

enlisted with the Navy in 1945 but saw no action due to the end of World War II. He attended Black Mountain College in North Carolina for two years, where he studied sculpture.

He then moved to southern California and

attended the Pasadena Playhouse College

of the Theatre. A gay man, Herlihy was a close friend of playwright Tennessee Williams, who

served as his mentor. Both spent a significant amount of time in Key West, Florida. Like Williams, Herlihy had lived in New

York City. Apart from Key West, the primary home of Herlihy was in the Silver Lake district

of Los Angeles. Herlihy committed suicide at the age of 66, after taking an overdose

of sleeping pills in Los

Angeles. Plays he wrote include Streetlight Sonata (1950), Moon

in Capricorn (1953), and Blue Denim (produced on Broadway in 1958). He directed actress Tallulah Bankhead in a touring production of his

play Crazy October in 1959. Three of his one-act plays,

titled collectively Stop, You're Killing Me were presented by

the Theater Company of Boston in 1969. According to author Sean Egan in his

biography of James Kirkwood Jr., Ponies

& Rainbows, Herlihy co-wrote the play UTBU with

Kirkwood but demanded his name be taken off the credits. Herlihy wrote three

novels: All Fall Down (1960), Midnight Cowboy (1965),

and The Season of the Witch (1971). His short stories were collected in The

Sleep of Baby Filbertson and Other Stories (1959) and A Story

That Ends in a Scream and Eight Others (1967), a collection which

included plays. Herlihy appeared as a guest star in "A Bunch of Lonely

Pagliaccis," a 1962 episode of the TV series Route 66. He acted in

the movie In the French Style (1963)

with Jean Seberg. Herlihy also

acted in Edward Albee's play The Zoo Story in 1963 in Boston and Paris, and in the 1981 film Four Friends directed

by Arthur Penn. In 1968, Herlihy signed the "Writers and

Editors War Tax Protest" pledge, vowing to refuse tax payments

as a protest against the Vietnam War. He later also became a sponsor of the War

Tax Resistance project, which practiced and advocated tax resistance as a form of protest against the war.
