Cimino circled many projects that never came to fruition, including a life of Dostoevsky developed with Raymond Carver; adaptations of “Crime and Punishment,” Truman Capote’s “Handcarved Coffins,” Ayn Rand’s “The Fountainhead” and Andre Malraux’s “Man’s Fate”; and bios of Janis Joplin, Legs Diamond and Mafia boss Frank Costello. He also circled many projects eventually directed by others, including “The Bounty,” “Footloose,” “The Pope of Greenwich Village” and “Born on the Fourth of July.”

Interviewed him in 1986--talked enthusiastically about his New York Rocker cover with Johnny Thunders. I liked the weird quasi-rockabilly album he put out around that time.

RIP.
A friend of mine who was pretty close with Jerry Belson once told me about Jerry's sharp sense of Schadenfreude. Exhibit A was a quote which started: "Yes, this was a good year for me, 'Exit To Eden' came out."
