Henry Jaglom

Henry Jaglom

Henry Jaglom (born 26 January 1941, London, England) is a film director who specializes in independently made dramas loosely based on characters from his actual life, and often starring these very same individuals.

Born into considerable wealth, Jaglom played small roles as an actor in 1960s films (including a guest appearances on "Gidget" and "The Flying Nun") before serving as an editorial consultant on "Easy Rider" (1969), directed by his friend Dennis Hopper.

Like many individuals associated with that film, he soon got a chance to direct a film backed by a major studio (Universal Pictures), "A Safe Place" (1971). That film, starring Tuesday Weld and Orson Welles, was considered a commercial and critical failure, but did initiate a longtime friendship with Welles which involved Jaglom unsuccessfully going out of his way to try to obtain funding for Welles to direct a film in the United States of America again.

After co-producing "Hearts and Minds", a documentary about the Vietnam War, and "The American Dreamer", a documentary about Hopper, he directed the film that has set the tone for his subsequent work, "Can She Bake A Cherry Pie" (1983). It involves love and relationships amidst a set of characters involved in the entertainment industry, like all of his films since.

Later films include "Venice/Venice" (1992), about a film director living in Venice, California played by Jaglom himself (who lives there), and "Festival in Cannes" (2001).

In the early-mid 1990s, Jaglom did a series of films exploring women's perspectives on a variety of issues. These included "Baby Fever", "Eating", and "Going Shopping".

His most recent films include "Hollywood Dreams" (2006) and "Irene in Time" (2008), both with Jaglom's protégé Tanna Frederick in the lead role.
