I don't know anyone who didn't have a Drew Struzan illustrated film poster on their bedroom wall as a kid or the walls of their home office as an adult.

Discovered that he had a documentary film. Streaming now on Prime Video. I'll watch that tonight before bed.

Thank you, and rest in peace.

Great news: California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the California Ratepayer Protection Act, which prevents for-profit utilities like PG&E and SoCalGas from forcing customers to pay for political lobbying and promotional ads.

This will lower energy bills for Californians - a big win!

When I visited The Kennedy/Marshall Company in 2017 this was the first thing I saw as soon as I stepped off of the elevator. It's the original illustration by Drew Struzan.
The original illustration for the "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" poster by Drew Struzan. This is before the billing block, tagline and the title treatment were added. There's no one in the photo to provide the proper scale, but it must have been about 5 feet in height, if not more. It depicts Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and Sean Connery as his father. Allison Doody, John Rhys-Davies, Denholm Elliot and Michael Byrne are on it as well.

Diane Keaton's two 1977 leading film roles in "Annie Hall" and “Looking for Mr. Goodbar" are great introductions of her work.

Each showcased her in two vastly different roles that defined two opposite sides of dating and relationships for women in the 1970s.

Such sad news to hear. Rest in peace.
