Cult Films and More
If you’ve seen one movie over ten times… in a week – you’re a cult film freak. Here on this site are essays and interviews with actors and actresses (or writers, directors, musicians, etc.) that you may have enjoyed throughout the years on classic cult TV shows and motion pictures. Each essay centers on the importance of not only the performers but the characters they played; while the interviews showcase their unique insight into projects ranging from “Midnight Cowboy” to “Piranha” to “The Boy in the Plastic Bubble”.
THE CONNECTORS
For the book "This is Orson Welles", director Peter Bogdanovich interviewed the groundbreaking director/producer/writer/actor in various locations throughout the world. The following is an excerpt…
From the words of Orson Welles:
"This hand that touches you now once touched the hand of Sarah Bernhardt - can you imagine that? When she was young, Mademoiselle Bernhardt had taken the hand of Madame George, who had been the mistress of Napoleon! Just three handshakes from Napoleon! It's not that the world is so small, but that history is so short. Four or five very old men could shake hands and take you right back to Shakespeare."
On this site, a character actor is just as important as a leading actor; and a leading actor/actress is just as important as the writers, directors and producers who hired them… In the sense that eventually, in the course of cult film history: everything connects.
