John Osborne, 65, the British dramatist who made an art form out of bile in "Look Back In Anger" and other plays, died Saturday of heart failure. Born in London, Mr. Osborne became the prototypical Angry Young Man of British theater, with plays such as "The Entertainer" in 1957 and "Inadmissible Evidence" in 1964. But he also had a buoyant side, as he showed in the screenplay for the 1964 film version of "Tom Jones," which brought him an Academy Award.
