Playwright, writer, and script editor Mart Crowley appears at the June 9, 2019 Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. He is joined by actress Natasha Gregson Wagner. She is the daughter of Natalie Wood and John Gregson and later raised by Robert Wagner and Jill St. John. Crowley was a close personal and professional friend of Wood. Crowley is best known for the trailblazing gay-themed play, `The Boys in the Band,` which opened off-Broadway in 1968. On the 50th anniversary year, 2018, it reopened as `Boys in the Band,` and it was awarded a Tony for Best Revival of a Play a few hours later. Crowley suffered a heart attack and died as he was recovering from the surgery in Manhattan on March 7, 2020 at the age of 84.
