Michael Taylor is the editor of the San Francisco Chronicle\’s car section. He is also the son of screenwriter Samuel Taylor, who wrote plays and movies (including Sabrina and Vertigo, which was made in San Francisco fifty years ago).

Steven Bach was the head of worldwide production at United Artists when the movie Heaven\’s Gate sank the company. Since then he\’s written four books. The new one, Leni: The Life and Work of Leni Riefenstahl, has just come out. She was the evil genius director of movies for the Nazis (she died recently, at 101).

Peter Morgan is perhaps the most celebrated screenwriter in the world right now, and he deserves to be. He\\\’s written five plays — four screenplays and one stage play — that establish his oeuvre. He\\\’s a great writer at the top of his game and we can only hope for more.

Lisa Loven is an ingenue from Norway. Right now in her country she is the star of a national advertising campaign for a food product. She moved to Los Angeles four months ago to become a movie actress. People I know think she\’s got a chance.
