Pollock At the end of the 1940's, abstract expressionist Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) is featured in Life magazine. Flashback to 1941, he's living with his brother in a tiny apartment in New York City, drinking too much, and exhibiting an occasional painting in group shows. That's when he meets artist Lee Krasner, who puts her career on hold to be his companion, lover, champion, wife, and, in essence, caretaker. To get him away from booze, insecurity, and the stress of city life, they move to the Hamptons where nature and sobriety help Pollock achieve a breakthrough in style: a critic praises, then Life magazine calls. But so do old demons: the end is nasty, brutish and short Cast & Characters Ed Harris Marcia Gay Harden Tom Bower Jennifer Connelly Bud Cort ... Jackson Pollock ... Lee Krasner ... Dan Miller ...

Peggy Guggenheim is played by Ed Harris' wife Amy Madigan. Ed Harris' father bought his son a book about Jackson Pollock simply because he felt Ed bore a strong resemblance to the painter. Ever since then, Ed Harris became fascinated with Pollock's life. Debbie Reynolds appears briefly as herself in several shots of 'Pollock'; that's her face on the cover of the August 8th, 1949 issue of 'Life' magazine seen in several scenes. The cover was Reynolds' first for 'Life'. For the filming of 'Pollock', the real cover of the 'Life' issue was used, but the pages of the Jackson Pollock article inside are reproductions of the original, with Ed Harris' image substituted for Pollock's.
