The Last Movie-Poster Artist

Drew Struzan painted many of the most iconic movie posters of the last three decades, including the <i>Star Wars</i> and <i>Indiana Jones</i> series

HOOK, 1991
That was another one of those toughies where the movie came out and they still didn't have a poster. They had done an advance poster which was just a hook, and that's what they used to open the movie. Once I painted it, it came out a week or so after the film. Robin Williams loved his portrait. Dustin Hoffman didn't. So I go to his house and he comes to the door in his bathrobe and he has a half gallon of ice cream in his hand. I go in and he just starts acting for me. "This is the kind of face I want on the poster."
