It's been 16 years since George Furth died at only 75 of a tragic lung infection on August 11, 2008 in Santa Monica. A Renaissance man in the truest sense of the term, Furth was a character actor, playwright, and librettist. He collaborated with everyone from Stephen Sondheim (directly) on the Tony Award-winning musical Company, to his friend Warren Beatty (in a consulting capacity), for the 1975 movie Shampoo, and later in 1998, for Bullworth. Furth's full list of big and small screen acting credits is extensive. This is his story.
