To the PS Faithful,

Just published is Nick Dawson’s heavily researched biography, Being Hal Ashby, of the late great director Hal Ashby. BEING THERE is covered in detail, of course, with insight into PS and Ashby’s friendship and working relationship – as Dawson reminds and reports, PS first met with Ashby about directing BEING THERE in 1973 and kept the faith for the 6 years it took to be able to get the movie made.

The hardcover book’s photos include a rare B+W of Ashby on location with author/screenwriter Jerzy Kosinski; the only shot of PS is one of the familiar classic B+Ws of Chance in his garden.

Best,

Jason
