R.I.P.: Horton Foote

Horton Foote, whose bittersweet stories of heartbreak and regret set in small Southern towns earned him wide popular acclaim as well as two Academy Awards and a Pulitzer Prize, died Wednesday. He was 92.
Foote emerged on the national scene when he won an Academy Award for his screen adaptation of "To Kill a Mockingbird," the 1962 movie based on Harper Lee's novel.
