CLU GULAGER'S CHILDHOOD TRAUMA
Ever since his hilarious performance in RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (85) I've had a real soft spot for the actor Clu Gulager. His solid turns in films like EDDIE PRESLEY (93) and THE KILLERS (68) cemented his reputation as a maverick outsider actor in the world.
His son John is a filmmaker now (FEAST) and his whole family has a history of being cinematic gypsies, performing everywhere and making amazing short films since the 70s.
My friend Anne Heller filmed this segment below with Clu in Austin about a terrifying operation he had as a small child that was filmed on a bolex 16mm camera.
