Between shooting The Godfather and The Godfather part 2, Coppola shot The Conversation. In the middle of writing Miller’s Crossing, the Coen Brothers took a break and wrote Barton Fink. After filming the beginning of Cast Away, with a slightly overweight Tom Hanks, production stopped for a year, giving Hanks time to get down to his desert island weight. Robert Zemeckis directed What Lies Beneath during the hiatus, then finished Cast Away. In the midst of his 40 years working on the tomb of Julius II, Michelangelo stopped for four years and knocked off the Sistine Chapel ceiling. In 1984, Cynthia Nixon appeared in David Rabe’s Hurlyburly and Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing on Broadway on the same night, starting the evening with act one of one play, then walking two blocks to the other theater for the second half of the next.
Bill & Blair
Blair Tindall, author of Mozart in the Jungle and professional oboist, was very briefly married to Bill Nye the Science Guy. The marriage was declared invalid by the State of California. Neither Nye nor Tindall has since discussed the dissolution of the marriage. Tindall ater broke into Nye's house and stole his laptop, using it to send defamatory emails in his name. She also used herbicide to destroy his garden.
