Wolfgang Petersen is a German film director known for films such as Das Boot (1981) and Troy (2004).
I want to remember him for The NeverEnding Story (1984), a fantasy film based on the German novel of the same name by Michael Ende.
The book describes the fantasy world of Fantasia slowly being devoured by a malevolent force called “The Nothing“.
Anne Heche was an American actress known for many films and television dramas.
I remember her for Wild Side (1995).
Bob Rafelson was an American film director. I remember him for Head (1968) and Five Easy Pieces (1970).
Five Easy Pieces is famous for its chicken salad scene.
Head is known for being a hippie film in the style of The Trip (1967), Medium Cool (1969) and Putney Swope (1969).
Lenny Von Dohlen was an American actor.
I remember him for Electric Dreams (1984), which can be read as a prequel to Her.
L. Q. Jones was an American actor and film director. I remember him from A Boy and His Dog (1975), a cult film about a boy and his telepathic dog who hunt for food and women. They end up in a handmaid’s tale type world. There is some nudity and lots of misogyny.
