Richard Pryor was the first recipient of the Mark Twain Humor Award from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. He got the award in 1988… His 1986 film, Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life is Calling, is an almost-autobiographical revue in the same vein as Bob Fosse‘s film All That Jazz… According to his obituary in The Washington Post, Richard Pryor “was married and divorced six times. Survivors include at least six children and an unknown number of grandchildren.”
