  1. Mark Frechette

    Despite the film being a flop Frechette + co-star Daria Halprin became symbols of the disillusioned youth of America, appearing on the covers of Look + Rolling Stone + appearing on talk shows.

    In 1973, Frechette + 2 members of Lyman's Fort Hill Commune in Roxbury attempted to rob the New England Merchant's Bank. One of the trio was killed by police while the other 2 were arrested. Frechette was sentenced to 6 to 15 years in prison where he died in 1975 in a weightlifting accident after a 150-pound barbell fell on his neck + he suttocated. He was 27.

  14. Man From Mars

    When record producer Larry Klein asked former wife Joni Mitchell to write a song for the 1995 film Grace of my Heart she refused. The movie, based on the a songwriter + aspiring singer in the mid 60s (think Carole King) required an innocence + vulnerability that Mitchell no longer felt she could offer.

    Enter Nietzsche, Joni's cat, also known as Man From Mars ("he's a little lavender lion who looks like an alien + walks on his hind legs"). Nietzsche had peed all over a couple of chairs + so Joni said to him, “if you're going to act like an animal - you're going to live like an animal.”, grabbing him + kicking him outside. Well, he disappeared for 18 days. Night after night, Mitchell called him from her yard + waited. The song's sounds mimic what she heard: the rustling of leaves, bird songs, the drone from a distant freeway. , "It took me 17 days to write this song, + the night I finished it, my amazing little mancat appeared in a neighbor's yard "

  28. I don't want to think ... I want to drink.

    Anna Lucasta, the 1959 film starring Eartha Kitt & Sammy Davis Jr as well as a stellar supporting cast had an interesting history.
    Originally written as a play by Philip Yordan depicting a Polish American family, it was rewritten by American Negro Theater Director Abram Hill + Henry Wagstaff Gribble for an all African-American cast. After the success of this new version the script headed to Hollywood for a film version in 1949 ... but filmed with a white cast it was not a success.
