Who is Tracy Letts?

Tracy, who’s originally from Oklahoma, wrote the popular play August: Osage County, for which he earned a Pulitzer Prize.

The play was inspired by Tracy’s personal hardships. He revealed to NPR: “It’s based on family history. My grandfather — my mother’s father — committed suicide when I was 10 years old … My grandmother descended into years of downer addiction, which had a horrible impact on my family, and has ripples in my family even to this day.”

In 2014, the play was adapted into a hit film starring Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep.

He wrote the plays Killer Joe, and Bug and Man from Nebraska as well. Carrie starred in a revival of his play Bug and Man from Nebraska on Broadway, which also earned her a Tony nomination. 

Tracy is also an actor and appeared in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? which earned him a Tony Award.

He’s also been featured in The Post, Lady Bird, The Big Short, Prison Break, Homeland and Seinfeld.

Besides the pair both being featured in the Broadway play, the duo have also acted together in The Post and The Sinner.
