Interesting
stories about the film
1. Ed Harris' father bought his
son a book about Jackson Pollock, simply because he felt that his son was very
similar to Pollock. Since then, Ed Harris has been fascinated by Pollock's
life.
2. Ed Harris, who starred and
worked as a director in this film, was so strenuous that he collapsed on the
set and had to be hospitalized for a while.
3. Ed Harris himself did all the
paintings seen in the film. However, the finished Pollock paintings were
reproduced by an artist group.
4. The veterinarian who appears to
check the dog lying hurt on the road that Pollock found in the film is Bob L.
Harris, Ed Harris' father.
5. Jack Nicholson was initially
considered to star as Jackson Pollock.
