DEAN STOCKWELL 1936-2021




Longtime actor Dean Stockwell died earlier this week.  The actor was 85.  

Stockwell was a guest at the 11th Telluride Film Festival in 1984 attending as a part of the entourage in support of Wim Wenders Paris, Texas.  He was Oscar nominated in 1988 for Best Supporting Actor in Jonathan Demme's Married to the Mob.  He was also a four time Emmy nominee for his role as Al Calavicci in Quantum Leap.  He also twice won Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival; the first in 1959 for Compulsion and the second in 1962 for Long Day's Journey Into Night.  His most recent IMDb credit is from 2015.

I saw Stockwell in Santa Fe, NM in 1980 as part of a tribute to D.H. Lawrence.  Stockwell had been invited to be a part of the troupe that presented a 2 1/2 hour retrospective of Lawrence's work primarily due to his role in Jack Cardiff's 1960 adaptation of Lawrence's Sons and Lovers.

Among other performers on stage that evening were Ian McKellen, Jane Alexander, Tony Randall and Elizabeth Taylor.  Stockwell was a standout among the high-powered crew.


NEW TRAILER FOR C'MON C'MON

A24 has released a second official trailer for Mike Mills' C'mon C'mon starring Joaquin Phoenix.  Here that is from YouTube:
