Does Director Paul Thomas Anderson Resemble Timothy Hutton & Kiefer Sutherland?
0Magnolia (1999) director Paul Thomas Anderson may resemble actors Timothy Hutton & Kiefer Sutherland. The 2 appeared together in the documentary, Give Me Your Answer True in 1987 about the work of actor Donald Sutherland. Robert Redford's Ordinary People from 1980 may be another link. Hutton, Donald Sutherland and Mary Tyler Moore appeared in this. Moore's debut was on The Dick Van Dyke Show created by Carl Reiner. Director Rob Reiner in Stand By Me (1986), this was based on the writing of author Stephen King. Hutton was also in The Dark Half (1993) also based on a King novel.
Connections: Anderson reportedly recommended actress Kirsten Dunst to Director Lars Von Trier's for Melancholia in 2011. She replaced Penelope Cruz in the part. Cruz was also in Vanilla Sky (2001) with actor Tom Cruise, also in Anderson's Magnolia.
Alternatively, I thought Paul Thomas Anderson may resemble Director Stanley Kubrick, Nicole Kidman and Sydney Pollack of 1999's Eyes Wide Shut. Tom Cruise again is a strong link.
