Did you know

  • Trivia
    In an interview with Harry Medved and Michael Medved for the book "The Golden Turkey Awards," Tucker stated that he had also directed a film titled "Space Jockey". An article in the August 5, 1953 issue of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner ("Cast Hard at Work on Fairbanks' First Movie") reported on the filming of "Space Jockey" and included several quotes from Tucker. The article noted that filming was scheduled to wrap the following day. However, no copy of the finished film has ever surfaced and "Space Jockey" is now considered a lost film.
