Harling also wrote and directed the sequel to Terms of Endearment titled The Evening Star (1996).[5][8][12] In the spring of 2012, he served as writer and producer of the TV show GCB, which aired briefly on ABC-TV.[5][8][11] In the same year, it was reported that Harling was adapting Soapdish into a musical.[5][13] Personal lifeHe is Presbyterian[13] He owns the Oaklawn Plantation in Natchitoches, Louisiana.[14][15] FilmographyWriter
