Personal Quote:

I tried to stick to my game plan, which was always being aware of what my A story was - the love story between a father and his son, and that son and his daughter. See more »

Trivia:

Musician Greg Dulli, who appears with his band, The Afghan Whigs, in Demme's film, Beautiful Girls (1996), was so distraught when he heard of his death that he scrapped a nearly completed album for his band, The Twilight Singers, and wrote an entirely new set of songs. See more »
