foulmouthed Pulitzer Prize winning play that stood above the rest. Although it wasn’t a hit at the time, “Glengarry Glen Ross” wormed its way into the culture and grew into an oft-quoted cult favorite, especiallymade-for-the-film “always be closing” monologue.

Critic Tim Grierson wrote 20 years after its release that it remains “one of the quintessential modern movies about masculinity.” He added, “while there are many fine Mamet movies, it’s interesting that the best of them was this one — the one he didn’t direct.”Born on Dec. 28, 1953, in Brooklyn, Foley studied film in graduate school at the University of Southern California. Legend has it that Hal Ashby once wandered into a film school party where his short happened to be playing at the time and he took a liking to him. Foley would later attribute his ability to make his first feature, “Reckless,” a 1984 romantic drama about mismatched teenagers in love starring Daryl Hannah, Aidan Quinn and Adam Baldwin, to the Ashby stamp of approval. It was also the first screenplay credited to Chris Columbus, though there were reports of creative differences.He followed it with the Sean Penn crime drama “At Close Range,” the Madonna and Griffin Dunne screwball comedy “Who’s That Girl” and the neo-noir thriller “After Dark, My Sweet,” with Jason Patric. Critic Roger Ebert included “After Dark, My Sweet” in his great movies list, calling it “one of the purest and most uncompromising of modern film noir” despite having been “almost forgotten.”

He also directed several music videos for Madonna including “Papa Don’t Preach,” “Live to Tell,” and “Who’s That Girl,” and an episode of “Twin Peaks.”Foley adapted John Grisham and worked with Gene Hackman on “The Chamber” and made the Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg teenage love-gone-scary thriller “Fear,” as well as the largely derided Halle Berry and Bruce Willis psychological thriller “Perfect Stranger,” which was released in 2007.

It would be a decade before his next film was released, when he was given the reigns to the “Fifty Shades of Grey” sequels, “Fifty Shades Darker” and “Fifty Shades Freed.”

“For me, what’s most challenging is stuff that doesn’t involve the actors, oddly enough — in three, there’s a big car chase and there’s different stunts and stuff and that stuff really bores me,” he told The Associated Press at the UK premiere of “Fifty Shades Darker.” “So when the actors aren’t around, that’s difficult because the actors give me so much energy and kind of engagement and a car driving by doesn’t do the same thing.”Restaurant owner Shin Byung-chul peers from behind a flyer he put up of Kenneth Barthel at his restaurant in Busan, South Korea, May 17, 2024.

He hung flyers all over Busan, where his mother abandoned him at a restaurant. She ordered him soup, went to the bathroom and never returned. Police found him wandering the streets and took him to an orphanage. He didn’t think much about finding his birth family until he had his own son, imagined himself as a boy and yearned to understand where he came from.He has visited South Korea four times, without any luck. He says he’ll keep coming back, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Some who make this trip learn things about themselves they’d thought were lost forever.In a small office at the Stars of the Sea orphanage in Incheon, South Korea, Maja Andersen sat holding Sister Christina Ahn’s hands. Her eyes grew moist as the sister translated the few details available about her early life at the orphanage.
