Thanks so much for the fun facts about Troy Donahue, Lebowskidoo.
In the 1950s, the young Troy Donahue flitted effortlessly between making heavy Douglas Sirk prestige pictures and low budget sci-fi shockers, a harbinger of things to come. In his later years, he became much sought after by some of the directors I admire, working with Roger Corman graduates Francis Coppola and Monte Hellman in the 1970s, as well as Oliver Stone who also obtained his services. In subsequent decades he played character roles in Randal Kleiser's 'Grandview U.S.A' (1984), Fred Olen Ray's 'Cyclone' (1987) & 'Terminal Force' (1989), David Prior's 'Deadly Prey' (1987), Leo Fong's 'Fight To Win' (1987), Amir Shervan's 'Hollywood Cop' (1987), David DeCoteau's 'American Rampage' (1989) & 'Dr Alien' (1989), Jose Altonaga's 'Hot Times At Montclair High' (1989), Deland Nuse's 'The Chilling' (1989), Richard Gabai's 'Blood Nasty' (1989) & 'Assault Of The Party Nerds' (1989), Ross Hagen & John Stewart's 'Click : The Calendar Killer' (1990) and John Waters' 'Cry-Baby' (1990), cementing his position at the vanguard of American b-movies. Dudes a legend.
