Zoë Lund

[1] At a young age, Lund was an accomplished composer and musician; but the power of celluloid took a firmer grasp.

"I could write a concerto with 17 violins that could be very powerful, but film works on a more visceral level where I can go into the collective audience and make sure my point gets across.

[8][9] Lund said in an interview that she had a lot of input manifesting the character: "In the beginning stages of the film, the only material that existed was vague descriptions of several scenes.

In it he cast Lund as a wannabe starlet who is murdered on film by a fallen director portrayed by Eric Bogosian, who then finds a lookalike to take her place in the movie he decides to make around the snuff footage.

[11][12][13] Lund also agreed to appear in the film, playing the woman who helps Harvey Keitel's title character smoke heroin.

[10] Lund attempted to publish several novels, including Curfew: USA and 490: A Trilogy and Kingdom for a Horse.

[2] Other unproduced screenplays that have been credited as Lund's works included Last Night of Summer and Free Will and Testament.

She wrote at length about heroin and advocated it for legal recreational use in the United States, as well as romanticized its effects.

"[9] "I've known a lot of serious drug users, but Zoë was Queen," Richard Hell, a friend of Lund's, recalled in 2002.

They lived together in an apartment located on 10th Street, and according to Paul Rachman, the Lunds reportedly owned "dozens of roaming pet rats."

The couple were married on October 31, 1986, at the NYC Municipal Building with one witness in attendance, their friend Lenny Ferrari.
