| Chicago-born and raised (though now a resident of Vermont), Mamet is the city's pride and joy. A former Artistic Director of the Goodman Theatre and a nationally acclaimed playwright since he hit the scene with Sexual Perversity in Chicago, and An American Buffalo, Mamet's follow-up works such as Glengarry Glen Ross has secured the fifty year-old playwright a place in the essential 20th century American repertoire. Furthermore, all of the aforementioned have successfully been adapted to the screen with Sexual Perversity. . . appearing in 1986 as About Last Night and later films including The Verdict (1982), The Untouchables (1987), Hoffa, (1991) and Wag the Dog (1997) which garnered Mamet and his partner an Oscar nomination for Best Adaptation. Mamet is still going with his indie release of The Spanish Prisoner (1998) starring Steven Martin in which Mamet served as both scribe and director. New city reports that he is authoring the celebrity entry on Chicago for Britannica.
