Kevin Noel Jarre (August 6, 1954 – April 3, 2011) was an American screenwriter, actor, and film producer. He adopted the last name of his adoptive father, Maurice Jarre. Background and personal life Jarre was born on August 6, 1954, in Detroit, Michigan, to actress Laura Devon and her second husband, Cleland B. Clark. After his parents' divorced, he lived in Wyoming for a time with his father, whom he referred to as Hemingwayesque, and who had combined ranching and fashion photography. He then returned to Los Angeles with his mother, who was married at that time to actor Brian Kelly. In the mid-1960s, Devon subsequently married French composer Maurice Jarre, who adopted Kevin. He was the step-brother of Jean-Michel Jarre and Stéfanie Jarre. In the early 1990s, he had dated actress Lisa Zane; he had written the role of Josephine Marcus in Tombstone with her in mind. On July 25, 2009, Jarre was arrested in Santa Monica for driving while intoxicated, his bail was set at $5,000. Career In the 1960s, Jarre had small acting parts in the TV series Flipper.

One of his early scripts was an unproduced screenplay he had written called Eternal War, which was sent to producer Paul Kohner. In the 1980s, he had written a story treatment that eventually became Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), as Jarre later recalled in an interview in the documentary Tinsel - The Lost Movie About Hollywood: Jarre also wrote the screenplays for The Mummy (1999) and The Devil's Own (1997).
