Pryor Navigates Creativity In Long Hiatus For Fresh Material
Comedian Richard Pryor spends about two months each year in a creative chrysalis to renew his stage and screen work. He writes his own material, stars in films like Lady Sings the Blues and The Bingo Long Traveling All Stars and Motor Kings, and co stars with Gene Wilder in Silver Streak. Pryor cites personal experience as the source of much humor and notes he must reinvent an hour and a half act every run.
