Former Chronicle reporter Al Reinert, co-writer of ‘Apollo 13’ script, dead at 71

 

He was not on the list.

Al Reinert, the former Houston Chronicle crime reporter who brought poetic images of space to audiences with the documentary film “For All Mankind,” and co-wrote the film “Apollo 13,” died due to complications of cancer on the early morning of New Year’s Eve in his home of Wimberley. He was 71.

He is survived by his wife, the actress Lisa Hart Carroll, who is best known for her role as Patsy in the film “Terms of Endearment.”

Reinert started off on the crime beat for the Chronicle, then covered NASA in the 1970s, when he discovered his fascination for space. “For All Mankind,” which he directed and produced in 1989, used archival footage to present a luminous, human view of NASA’s Apollo program.

“He spoke to the heart,” Carroll said Wednesday. “He had a sense of poetry in telling a story.”

The film’s combination of ambient music, imagery and raw emotion garnered Reinert a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Documentary in 1990.

While being interviewed in 2015 for a Houston Chronicle story, Reinert said he didn’t want “For All Mankind” to be a traditional documentary with talking heads.

“Tom Hanks told me it’s not a documentary,” he said. “He said it’s an art film. And in a way he’s right. I didn’t know any better at the time. I’d seen films with astronauts talking, and they just didn’t do anything for me.”

Reinert wanted to interview astronauts about a mission that wasn’t recent, so that they had time to reflect on their experiences.

“Think about a long drive,” he said. “You’re checking your speed, your gas, traffic, all these things around you. When you get back weeks later, then you really can process and articulate what you thought about the Grand Canyon.”

In 1996, Reinert was nominated for a second Oscar for co-penning the screenplay for “Apollo 13.” He wrote the film with William Broyles Jr., who he met while writing for Texas Monthly.

He also co-wrote the 2001 film “Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within,” did uncredited work with “Armageddon” and worked on an unproduced James Cameron film about Mars.

Carroll said Reinert “was a humble man,” but received fan letters from major filmmakers and writers expressing their gratitude for his contributions. She recalled a recent letter from film director Damien Chazelle telling Reinert that he had the entire crew of “First Man” — Chazelle’s 2018 film about Neil Armstrong — watch “For All Mankind” for inspiration.

Reinert kept his declining health to himself as he quietly chipped away at his latest project, a yet-to-be finished documentary about the International Space Station called “Above It All.”

A webpage for the film describes its subject as “the model for a hopeful human future.” Carroll said she hopes the film will one day be released.

Though his subjects have also included Michael Morton — a man wrongly jailed for nearly 25 years — and naturalist John James Audubon, Reinert had a special gift in telling stories about space.

“It took Al Reinert to show what happened emotionally, spiritually to these men and what it was like to leave this earth,” she said.

But despite his success, Reinert never fit into Hollywood culture, choosing instead to live in a small home in the woods in Texas.

“He didn’t dance to the normal beat,” said Carroll. “He was an oddball. He was a T-shirt and jeans guy. He lived like he wanted to live.”

The date for a service has yet to be determined.

Don Lusk, Animator on 'Pinocchio,' 'Fantasia' and Charlie Brown Specials, Dies at 105

He was not on the list.

Don Lusk, the prolific animator whose pencil drawings brought to life Pinocchio, Fantasia and 11 other classic films during Disney's Golden Age, has died. He was 105.

Lusk died Sunday at a retirement home in San Clemente, California, his son, Skip Lusk, told The Hollywood Reporter.

From 1933-60, Lusk was one of the many animators employed by Walt Disney to work on shorts and feature films, and his output was staggering. He drew Geppetto's pet goldfish Cleo and pet tuxedo cat Figaro for Pinocchio (1940), the Arabian Fish Dance to the "Nutcracker Suite" for Fantasia (1940), the dog chase for Bambi (1942), the mice for Cinderella (1950) and the title character floating down the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland (1951).

After leaving Disney, he joined Bill Melendez Productions and animated such films as A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1969), Snoopy, Come Home (1972) and Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown (1977). He worked on 10 Peanuts primetime specials through the 1970s, including the enduring classic A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

At Hanna-Barbera, Lusk directed 136 episodes of The Smurfs as well as installments of Challenge of the GoBots, Pound Puppies, The Addams Family cartoon series and a Jetsons-Flintstones TV movie before retiring in 1993 at age 80.

In the 1981 book Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life, animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston — two of Disney's famed "Nine Old Men" crew — wrote about Lusk's work on Fantasia: "The scenes of the glowing white fish in the Arabian Dance section of 'Nutcracker Suite' amazed the whole studio. Never has an object on celluloid looked so diaphanous and delicate … No one had ever seen such a gossamer effect, and very few knew how it had been achieved."

Four decades earlier, Lusk was one of the 334 Disney animators who went on strike, demanding a bump in salary from $87.50 a week.

"I didn't know what people at MGM or Warner Bros. were making, but I know they were making more than we were," Lusk told the Animation Guild in a 2013 interview. "So, I just said to hell with it, I'm going to go out on strike." He went to work at a liquor store until the walkout ended five weeks later.

Lusk then missed another three years at the studio when he served with the U.S. Marines in its newly created Animation Unit. Upon his return, he found his pay had increased to $125 a week.

The strike created friction between Walt and his animators, and Lusk recalled that the studio chief drew up a list of strikers to eventually be blacklisted. He survived at the studio until 1960, when he drew puppies for 101 Dalmatians. "I just barely got credit," he said. "I think I was the next to last name."

Lusk was born in Burbank on Oct. 28, 1913. He began his career in set and costume design. After being laid off, he caught a glimpse of Walt Disney's Hyperion Studio on his drive home to Glendale, California. (He ended up working over a lightbox there for nearly 30 years.)

He began as an "in-betweener" — those who filled in the action between key poses — on Goofy short films. "He wasn't easy. Goofy has too much detail on him," he recalled. Then, as a clean-up artist, he helped Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) make deadline.

Other Disney classics on which he worked included Song of the South (1946), Peter Pan (1953), Lady and the Tramp (1955) and Sleeping Beauty (1959).

Late in his career, he directed episodes of Yogi's Treasure Hunt, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo and Tom and Jerry Kids.

His wife, Marge, was a secretary at Disney in the personnel department and later in charge of the move of the studio to Burbank.

Disney conceptual artist Mike Peraza wrote in a Facebook post Sunday that "as with so many animation veterans, [Lusk] was as talented [and he was] as he was generous to others with his advice and help over the years. He will be missed, but his wonderful work will live on."

In addition to his son, survivors include his daughter Marilyn; grandchildren Jason and Erica; and great-grandchildren Kyler, Catalina, Conner and Kayla.

In 2015, Lusk was the recipient of the Winsor McCay lifetime achievement award at the Annies event. "This is certainly a great honor for me," he said in a taped acceptance speech. "Somebody has to have a peak of their career, and this is it."
