...graduate of the Roger Corman night school of no-budget film making. Working for slave wages at Gorman's New World Pictures in the mid-'70s, Dante learned how to finesse movies on a frayed shoestring. He and Co-Director Allan Arkush shot their first film, Hollywood Boulevard, for a niggardly $60,000 in 1976. Dante's solo directorial debut, the 1978 Piranha, was made for slightly in excess of $1 million.

Just before the Easter weekend, David flew down to Palm Beach to spend the holiday with his ailing 93-year-old grandmother Rose and other members of the family, including Caroline Kennedy.

The clinking of delicate china cups announces the arrival of a coffee vendor proffering thick, black Turkish brew. As Sunday fishermen impatiently flick their lines, a water...
...about 6 o'clock, Jackson stands up and puts on a brown leather jacket. We get ready to leave. Jackson says, "You hungry? You Like Chinese?" We drive down Hollywood Boulevard in a big blue Mercedes convertible to his favorite Chinese restaurant, Ting Ho, in Hollywood. Two plainclothes policemen are frisking a white punk in the parking lot. We eat steaming platefuls of shrimp and chicken with Chinese pea pods. "No one cooks at home," he says. "I'm the only one who eats meat. The rest eat only vegetables." Jackson is very shy. He has no idea...
