Dec. 28 [2015], Santa Monica, Calif., aged 82; convicted of armed robbery when he was 21 and sentenced to life in prison; his life began to change for the better when the San Francisco Actors Workshop performed Waiting for Godot at San Quentin State Prison in November 1957; thus began the unlikely redemptive arc of Cluchey's adulthood, one that led him out of jail and toward a career as an actor and playwright, most notably as a protégé of Samuel Beckett and an interpreter of his cryptic work)
