If you want to see a little-known Ben Gazzara movie, try to rent or download something called Saint Jack. When the movie came out, I was in college; I was spending a semester doing an internship for a talk show at a local NYC TV station; one day, Gazzara was a guest, there to promote the movie. I was lucky enough to be serving Green Room duty that day, so I got to meet him when I had to ask him to sign a release form so he could appear on the show. While he was signing the form for me, someone came up to congratulate him for all of the great reviews he was getting for his performance in the movie. Gazzara laughed and growled back in that trademark raspy voice of his, "The critics are writin' me a bunch o' fuckin' love letters!". He was very proud of that movie.

Zombie #1, Bill Hinzman, dies at 75.(Reuters) - Bill Hinzman, who was cast on the spot as a zombie in 1968 cult film "Night of the Living Dead" in a role that earned him the longlasting admiration of horror movie fans, has died at age 75, his daughter said on Monday. Hinzman died of cancer on Sunday evening at his home in Darlington, Pennsylvania, his daughter Heidi Hinzman told Reuters. He played a prominent role in Director George Romero's low-budget, black-and-white 1968 film "Night of the Living Dead," which is credited with revolutionizing the zombie genre. Hinzman was working as an assistant cameraman on the film when Romero decided to cast him as the zombie in the movie's opening sequence. "We'd like to tell the story that it was a hard audition session, but Bill was there and old enough and thin enough and he had an old suit," said the film's producer Russ Streiner. Dressed in that suit, Hinzman appears at a Pennsylvania cemetery and attacks a pair of young siblings by knocking the man's head against a tombstone and chasing the woman. He lurches across an open field and eventually chases the woman into a farmhouse. Fans called Heinzman "No. 1 zombie," said Streiner, who also played a character named Johnny who fought with Hinzman in the cemetery. "He was a very popular guy, he was very accessible to the fans," Streiner added. Hinzman also went on to direct and star in the 1980s horror movies "The Majorettes" and "FleshEater." He will be cremated, as he had asked, said Heidi Hinzman."He always joked with me that if he got buried he would come back," she said.uk.reuters.com/article/2012/02/07/uk-zombies-hinzman-idUKTRE81604Q20120207
