"A graduate of Roger Corman&amp;#39;s school for future Hollywood directors, Allan Arkush debuted as editor and co-director (with Joe Dante) of &amp;quot;Hollywood Boulevard&amp;quot; (1976), an uneven but amusing study of an actress who goes to work for a Cormanesque director. His first solo effort was the enjoyable 50s spoof &amp;quot;Rock &amp;#39;n&amp;#39; Roll High School&amp;quot; (1979) which centered on a rebellious teen who takes on her uptight principal played out against a soundtrack by the Ramones. &amp;quot;Heartbeeps&amp;quot; (1981), on the other hand, teamed Andy Kaufman and Bernadette Peters in a subpar comedy about two robots who fall in love; Stan Winston&amp;#39;s Oscar-nominated makeup all but overpowered the film&amp;#39;s gentle story. After helming the inferior sequel &amp;quot;Caddyshack II&amp;quot; (1988), Arkush abandoned features to concentrate on his burgeoning small screen career. He helmed numerous episodics including &amp;quot;St. Elsewhere&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;L.A. Law&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Moonlighting&amp;quot;, for which he earned an Emmy nomination, &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;ll Fly Away&amp;quot; and more recently, &amp;quot;Ally McBeal&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Dawson&amp;#39;s Creek&amp;quot;. Arkush also steered the New Jersey-set TV-movie &amp;quot;Young at Heart&amp;quot; (CBS, 1995) and the highly-regarded Showtime movie &amp;quot;Elvis Meets Nixon&amp;quot; (1997), which was based on a true story."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
