Whose Life is it Anyway?
© Richard Dreyfuss does not remember making this film in which he plays the role of an artist who becomes paralyzed from the neck down. He was a very heavy drug user at the time.
But you’re not likely to forget: “Whose Life Is It Anyway?”(1981), directed by John Badham, starring R. Dreyfus & John Cassavetes, seen here in the still shot.
