Over heated now it will not turn over

Engine Performance problem
1989 Buick Lesabre 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 215K miles

Upon leaving my driveway my Buick decided to die on me. This problem has occurred a few times in the past, however I was able to start the engine back up with no problem and go on my way. This time however, no go. The engine would turn and turn but wouldn't start. I left the car alone for around half an hour and tried to start it up. It started so I decided to take it out for a spin to McDonalds. While idling in the drive through, the car died. I waited a second and the car started back up. On the way home however, the car died once more while driving at a low speed (around 20mph). After a few failed attempts to start, the car had to be pushed home.

my car stalls at stop signs and traffic lights when I try to proceed from a dead stop. Then kind of hesitates when I restart it and get going again.
