I'm watching Rosemary's Baby and was wondering what ever became John Cassavettes' career?

He played Rosemary's spouse in the film.

Yeah he was a great actor but was much more successful and acclaimed as a director. He didn't respect acting and only did it to finance making his own movies.



He's considered the father of modern independent films because he's had such a huge influence on every independent filmmaker who came after him.



John Cassavettes' best movies as director: Shadows, Faces, A Woman Under The Influence, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie and Opening Night. And as an actor: Mikey and Nicky, Rosemary's baby, Dirty Dozen.



He was an alcoholic and died due to cirrhosis of the liver in 1989 at the young age of 59.



His son nick Cassavettes is a successful director now. (John Q, Alpha Dog, She's So Lovely, Unhook the Stars, and The Notebook.)
Reply:After Rosemary's baby he played in more than 20 movies. He died in 1989

John
Reply:It seems he's been M.I.A. for quite some time now, he hasn't done any movies after 1985 and must have started living a normal life.
