Cine Mosaic Press April 30, 1998. Daily Variety - The Gotham 50: Lydia Dean Pilcher by Carol Diuguid Lydia Dean Pilcher clearly is not afraid of a little hard work. On the heels of directing and producing "Reno Finds Her Mom," which airs on HBO on Mother's Day, Pilcher, 38, is currently producing Tim Robbins' latest directorial endeavor, "The Cradle Will Rock," which focuses on the controversy surrounding the ban of Marc Blitzstein's 1937 musical drama of the same title. "Reno" was Pilcher's first project Stateside after producing two films back-to-back in far-flung locales. In Hong Kong, she produced Wayne Wang's latest film, "Chinese Box," and in India, she produced Mira Nair's "Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love." Pilcher previously worked with Nair on "The Perez Family" and "Mississippi Masala," and will produce her next untitled project, which begins filming in Bombay next year. While in the throes of production on Robbins' "Cradle," Pilcher has already laid the groundwork for her next project, "Jesus' Son." She will serve as exec producer on the film adaptation of Denis Johnson's book of the same name. Filming is scheduled to begin in the fall.
