Movie Haiku:Sam Shepard, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright & Oscar-nominated Hollywood hunk, had a bad relationship with his own alcoholic father but found a father/brother/friend in Johnny Dark a Jersey boy with whom he has kept in touch for decades while all other relationships have crumbled. Jan found doc too elusive but Rich found it "strangely touching."
