biography
A screenwriter and playwright whose work has often been laced with high psycho-dramatic tension, Ted Tally won an Academy Award for his adaptation of "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991), forever emblazoning the name of Hannibal 'the Cannibal' Lecter in the annals of American screen villains.Tally had a distinguished theater background prior to breaking into motion pictures. A graduate of Yale's prestigious theater school, he devoted the late 1970s and most of the 80s to the stage. His "Terra Nova" premiered at the Yale Rep in 1977; its 1984 NYC production earned the writer an OBIE Award. Tally
