I take the occasion of Samuel Beckett’s 120th birthday to announce the publication of "Jack MacGowran, The Beckett Actor: Irish Stage and Film Legend." The revised edition of my acclaimed biography of Beckett's foremost interpreter will be published by BearManor Media in July.

Yes saw that but think this might need further investigation!

Are you sure this is Sam? Very few photos of him even young without glasses! As here …

Photograph of Beckett's Three Novellas book, a fork & penny, * a photo of a man from behind with the caption "Actor". 13 April Samuel Beckett, the great Irish playwright, was born in 1906 on Friday the thirteenth. He was Sam Shepard's literary hero. Sam would recite whole passages of Beckett's work by heart. We often quoted his line "I can't go on, I'll go on." No matter the circumstances, it always made us laugh.

For Samuel Beckett’s birthday, this from Patti Smith’s Book of Days

Very good to watch Harold Pinter discuss and then perform Samuel Beckett’s ‘Krapp’s Last Tape’ on BBC Four – still available on the iPlayer.
