“`Goodman Theatre artistic director Robert Falls says Stacy Keach suffered a heart attack during the opening evening of a play at the venue in Chicago. The May 30th performance of Pamplona, with Keach starring as Ernest Hemingway, was canceled halfway through when the actor appeared unwell.
“`Pamplona marks the actor’s third collaboration with Falls, and his second exploration of the literary icon: He earned a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy Award nomination for his portrayal of Hemingway in the eponymous 1988 television mini-series.
“`The entire run of the one-man play has since been canceled. Falls says the Goodman could re-stage Pamplona next year. STACY KEACH —>
“`Falls says he visited Keach on Tuesday, and found him in good spirits. He says Keach was sitting up and studying the script and asked about rescheduling. Goodman officials say the 76-year-old Keach is set to be released from a Chicago-area hospital.
“`Keach is best known for playing private eye Mike Hammer in several television series. He recently appeared in the Bruce Dern vehicle, Nebraska.
“`Best wishes to my fellow Van Nuys High School alum… Stacy Keach.
