Cliff Gorman Obituary
NEW YORK (AP) - Cliff Gorman, an actor who appeared on Broadway, in films and on television, died Sept. 5. He was 65, and died of leukemia at his Manhattan home.
Gorman won a Tony award for his interpretation of Lenny Bruce in the 1971 Broadway play "Lenny," which followed Bruce's career as a nightclub comedian through run-ins with the police and courts.
Gorman also won an Obie Award for his portrayal of a gay character named Emory in the Off-Broadway play "The Boys in the Band," and was nominated for another Tony in 1978 for his role in "Chapter Two," a semi-autobiographical play by Neil Simon.
Gorman was also a film actor, appearing in Otto Preminger's "Rosebud" (1975); "Night and the City" (1992) with Robert De Niro and Jessica Lange; and "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (1999).
He played Abbie Hoffman in a 1970 British television program about the Chicago Eight, and made guest appearances on the television shows "Law and Order," "Murder, She Wrote" and "Police Story."
