Actor Paul Dooley, with whom I worked on 1979's Health, filmed by Robert Altman, was sharp and creative.
He gave me a script one day and said, "Read this. Tell me what you think."
Jules Feiffer had written a script, called Popeye.
"'Bob wants to film it in Malta. He wants Robin Williams for Popeye."
I'd met Shelley Duval in Houston in 1971 when she had her first acting role in Brewster McCloud.
I said to Paul. "He should get Shelley for Olive Oyl. She was born to play her."
Sadly, Shelley died at 75 in July 2024.
