Starman (1984) was directed by Carpenter and was a bit of a departure for him from horror movies like The Thing (1982) and Christine (1983) and thrillers like Escape from New York (1981). A romantic science fiction film, it starred Bridges as an alien scientist trying to return to his people and Allen as Jenny Hayden, the human woman who falls in love with him. Bridges was nominated for an Oscar for his performance in Starman. BRIDGES, born in Los Angeles, California in 1949, is the son of actor Lloyd and younger brother of Beau and earned Oscar nominations for his performances in The Last Picture Show (1971), Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974), Starman and The Contender (2000). His other films include The Fisher King (1991), The Big Lebowski (1993) and Seabiscuit (2003). In addition to his acting achievements, Bridges has also written some 200 songs, a talent that he memorably incorporated in The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989), in which he starred as Jack Baker. Multitalented director, producer, actor, composer and writer CARPENTER, born in Carthage, New York in 1948, began making short films in 1962, and he won the Academy Award for Best Live-Action Short Subject just eight years later (The Resurrection of Broncho Billy, 1970). Carpenter began directing features in 1962, with Revenge of the Colossal Beasts, setting the tone for the horror and suspense movies that would follow, including Halloween (1978), Escape from New York, The Fog (1981), The Thing, They Live (1988), Escape from L.A. (1996) and Vampires (1998). Carpenter, who formed a band, The Coupe de Villes, in the mid-1970s, has also composed the scores for a number of films. Some of his music, such as "Halloween Theme", has been heard in other films and on TV shows. An occasional actorwho appears in his own films under the name of Rip Haight, Carpenter has been seen in features including The Fog and Village of the Damned (1995) as well as his made-for-TV movie, Body Bags (1993). Carpenter has been married to his second wife, script supervisor and sometimes his co-producer, Sandy King, since 1990. ALLEN, born in Carrollton, Illinois in 1951, is an American actress with over 50 movies and TV shows to her credit. Allen started as a stage actress but got her most celebrated film assignment as Marion in Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), a role she reprised in the third sequel Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008). Among her more notable screen appearances since Raiders are Starman, The Glass Menagerie (1987), Malcolm X (1992) and In the Bedroom (2001).
