In November, the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles will be hosting a month-long tribute to actor Robert Forster, who we lost last month. From November 4-7, the New Beverly will present a perhaps unlikely double bill of Lewis Teague's ALLIGATOR (1980, scripted by John Sayles) and Quentin Tarantino's JACKIE BROWN (1997), which scored Forster his only Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. At Quentin's request, I've written a lengthy new article explaining how Forster's casting in ALLIGATOR unwittingly laid the groundwork for his casting in the role that would later revitalize his screen career. Enjoy!
