A spokesman for Hartford Stage says playwright and screenwriter Horton Foote has died.

Paul Marte said Foote, who movingly portrayed the broken dreams of common people in "The Trip to Bountiful," "Tender Mercies" and his Oscar-winning screen adaptation of "To Kill a Mockingbird," died Wednesday in Connecticut, while preparing a production for next fall at the nonprofit theater. He was 92.
