Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

[on Pauline Kael, 1974]: You may not have noticed, but since Pauline Kael departed the "New Yorker" this spring on her annual hiatus, her name has been popping up in ads for movies she didn't review.

Trivia:

Did uncredited rewriting of James Cameron's Titanic (1997) script, transforming the director's "scriptment" into a screenplay and contributing about a third of the dialog. See more »
