I was watching the 2018 iteration of A Star is Born directed by Bradley Cooper and during the credits, it flashed Joan Didion's name as having been one of the people to write the 1976 version's screenplay. I don't really know famous writers well, her name stuck out because I remember we read some of her work before in another class and she was mentioned in chapter 8 of Hothouse. Kind of interested if it's a common thing for academically acclaimed writers to do screenplays on the side.
Also the movie was pretty good, never liked Lady Gaga that much but the movie changed my mind. She's pretty cool.
