Everything about Henry Jaglom totally explained
Henry Jaglom (born
26 January 1941,
London,
England) is a
film director who specializes in independently made dramas loosely based on characters from his actual life, and often starring these very same individuals.
Born into considerable wealth, Jaglom played small roles as an actor in
1960s films (including a guest appearances on
Gidget and
The Flying Nun) before serving as an editorial consultant on
Easy Rider (
1969), directed by his friend
Dennis Hopper.
Like many individuals associated with that film, he soon got a chance to direct a film backed by a major studio (
Universal Pictures),
A Safe Place (
1971). That film, starring
Tuesday Weld and
Orson Welles, was considered a commercial and critical failure, but did initiate a longtime friendship with Welles which involved Jaglom unsuccessfully going out of his way to try to obtain funding for Welles to direct a film in the
United States of America again.
After co-producing
Hearts and Minds, a documentary about the
Vietnam War, and "The American Dreamer", a documentary about Hopper, he directed the film that has set the tone for his subsequent work,
Can She Bake A Cherry Pie (
1983). It involves love and relationships amidst a set of characters involved in the entertainment industry, like all of his films since.
Later films include
Venice/Venice (
1992), about a film director living in
Venice, California played by Jaglom himself (who lives there), and
Festival in Cannes (
2001).
In the early-mid 1990s, Jaglom did a series of films exploring women's perspectives on a variety of issues. These included
Baby Fever,
Eating, and
Going Shopping.
His most recent films include
Hollywood Dreams (2006) and
Irene in Time (2008), both with Jaglom's protégé
Tanna Frederick in the lead role.
