Mary Beth Hurt, the Tony-nominated actress who starred in such films as Interiors, Six Degrees of Separation, Chilly Scenes of Winter and The World According to Garp, died Saturday in New Jersey after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2015. Her husband, filmmaker Paul Schrader, offered his first comments about her passing with a brief post on Facebook, where he has long shared his unfiltered takes on life, film and his Hollywood career.
“NOVEMBER 23, 1978. My father kept a meticulous and finely printed daily journal. On Thanksgiving 1978 he wrote simply ‘Joan died 12:20 am.’ Nothing more. Joan was his wife and my mother. He was made of stern stuff. I’ve looked at this entry over the years and wondered how I’d feel in his place. Now I’m in that place,” Schrader shared on Monday afternoon.
