Wonderful piece about a movie I adore. I'd always wanted to know more about its screenwriter, Nancy Dowd, who deserved a better career. What a talent.
Wrote about one of my favorite films, and the woman behind it, for @indiewire.com '70s week. Tried to capture the spirit of the thing. www.indiewire.com/features/bes...

Hi there, looking for a detailed- very detailed grid of script structure (act 1, 2a&b, etc) that someone posted a week to 2 weeks ago. It was an excel doc and had some good tidbits but I missed it and forgot who posted it - TIA! #scriptsky
