Lloyd Richards’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Lloyd Richards was born in the Year of the Goat. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Goat enjoy being alone in their thoughts. They’re creative, thinkers, wanderers, unorganized, high-strung and insecure, and can be anxiety-ridden. They need lots of love, support and reassurance. Appearance is important too. Compatible with Pig or Rabbit.
Remembered for his Tony Award-winning direction of the original Broadway production of Fences, as well as for his Tony-nominated work on The Piano Lesson and A Raisin in the Sun, Richards served as Dean of the Yale University School of Drama and Director of the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Playwrights Conference.
His studies at Wayne University were briefly interrupted by his Service in World War II with the United States Army Air Force.
He was a 1993 recipient of the National Medal of Arts and the 2002 winner of The Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize.
Born in Ontario, Canada, of paternal Jamaican descent, he spent the bulk of his childhood in Detroit, Michigan. His marriage to Barbara Davenport produced sons named Scott and Thomas.
Known for championing the work and building the careers of many African-American playwrights, Richards directed the original Broadway production of the August Wilson play Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
