Overview

• Jaglom died Monday night at his Santa Monica home, his daughter Sabrina said, with his son Simon and former wife Victoria Foyt at his side.
• Across more than five decades he wrote and directed over 20 features, including A Safe Place, Eating, Last Summer in the Hamptons and Déjà Vu.
• He favored intimate, actor-centered productions that often dispensed with scripts or rehearsals to encourage on-camera improvisation.
• A close friend and collaborator of Orson Welles, he recorded conversations later published as My Lunches With Orson, and Welles’ final screen appearance was in Jaglom’s Someone to Love.
• Born in London and raised in New York, he trained at the Actors Studio, acted in the 1960s and contributed to the editing of Easy Rider before establishing his directing career.
