Dianne Hull
Little is known about Dianne Hull, one of drive-in cinema's great performers. She was born on 24 November, 1949, but nobody knows where (not even herself). Her work in Floyd Mutrux's "lovers on the run" picture 'Aloha, Bobby And Rose' (1975) has inspired action directors from Mark L. Lester to Quentin Tarantino and she received plaudits for her performance in Lewis Jackson's revered "video nasty" 'Christmas Evil' (1980).
"Well, I had a ’57 Chevy and a mechanic friend that helped me keep it running. But I didn’t have any money. These cars are expensive to keep running. After “American Graffiti” and “Aloha Bobby and Rose” I had some money — not a lot, because I didn’t get paid a lot — but I was able to get a couple of hot rods and race them. I went out to the drag strip and raced them for a quarter mile. My friend, [actor] Robert Carradine, he got out there with Paul Newman racing on the tracks professionally. I never did that. I was more interested in acting. But I do like driving cars. I wish there were more hot rod movies.
I started in high school, if you want to call that acting. I’d call it acting but I didn’t get paid. Then I was in the Navy and when I got out, I studied acting in college for awhile and then I went to New York to get more serious about it, and then I came to Los Angeles. I also was boxing for awhile."

Dianne Hull
Dianne Hull's first major acting role in film came when she was cast by Elia Kazan as Ellen Anderson in 'The Arrangement' (1969). Her mother was acting teacher Lorrie Hull, author of 'Strasberg's Method As Taught By Lorrie Hull : A Practical Guide For Actors, Teachers And Directors'. Dianne Hull left the acting profession in order to become an acting teacher.

From her filmography, I've seen The Arrangement 1969, that I didn't like at all, and The Onion Field 1979, a bit long but I liked it.
Man on a Swing 1974 sounds interesting.
Aloha Bobby and Rose 1975, rings a bell but can't remember if I've seen it, maybe in the early video days but not sure.
In the early video days in Sweden one tended to watch anything that wasn't Swedish Television, so all those movies one watched has in later days become a big blur in my head. The late 1970's to early 1980's is what I call the early video days.
The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking 1988, remember there was a lot of media coverage about this movie in Sweden, since it was based on a beloved fictional character by Swedish children books author Astrid Lindgren. Once the movie came it was as if nobody wanted to know about it, and hidden away at small cinemas. Some wrote that it looked like a 1970's slapstick movie, or Disney wanna-be. Never seen it myself.

I really want to see Frank Perry's 'Man On A Swing' with Cliff Robertson and Joel Grey. I feel like I might have seen it years ago. The dvd was very expensive last time I looked.

This is one of my favourite viewings of recent years. The cast is a 1970s character actor's nightmare with Dianne Hull incarcerated alongside Bo Hopkins, Patti D'Arbanville, Sharon Farrell, Anthony James, Julie Adams, Robert Englund, Michael Berryman, Tracey Walter, Marlene Schmidt and Mel Ferrer among others. Hull should have received an Oscar nomination for her perofmance. So glad to have it on dvd.
