Happy Birthday, Rita and David
Today is the birthday of American poet Rita Dove (born 1952) and film director David Fincher (born 1962).In celebration, here's a charming video interview from 1999, in which Rita talks to Charlie Rose about her poetry and Rosa Parks.
And here's a very interesting article about the making of Alien 3, the first feature outing for the then-27 year-old Fincher.
