On the set of Apocalypse Now she met the production designer Dean Tavoularis, and when it was all over, she married him.
Dean Tavoularis spent months building grand and painstaking sets, which were destroyed by the worst hurricane the Philippines had seen in 40 years.
She later played Dean Stockwell's wife in Paris, Texas, and many of her other choices have been arthouse films of some distinction: she has made four films with Chantal Akerman, one with Jean-Luc Godard, one with Serge Gainsbourg, and recently made the controversial Trouble Every Day with Claire Denis.

Dean Tavoularis has been a close associate of Francis Ford Coppola for over 30 years and was the production designer of almost all the director’s films.
Celebrated production designer Dean Tavoularis is coming back to his country of origin this month for an exhibition presenting a panorama of his work.
On the one hand, he finds a show on his course as an artist a bit intimidating, and on the other, even though he has won an Oscar and has been dubbed “the magician of Hollywood,” he is still just a simple, low-key kind of guy.

 Variety.com - Tavoularis key to Coppola look
As production designer on 13 of Francis Ford CoppolaFrancis Ford Coppola's featurefeature films, Dean Tavoularis has created cinematic environments of such varied styles, under so many different conditions, that any three other designers might be proud to share his portfolio between them.
Though Tavoularis' contribution to the project is arguably less obvious than for the "Godfather" films or the feverish, blood-stained hell-on-earth he would later spend most of the second half of the '70s realizing for "Apocalypse Now," his involvement was no less integral.
Butler notes that during the shooting of "The Conversation," Tavoularis was presented with a problem he solved with a simple, yet elaborate solution.

 `The Ninth Gate': Off to Hell in a Handbasket, Trusty Book in Hand
You can tell that Corso is a rebel kind of book dealer: he smokes as he pores over vintage tomes and he doesn't wear gloves to keep his skin oils from the delicate pages.
His Dean Corso is a craven hustler who makes the detached, cowardly Ichabod Crane he portrayed in "Sleepy Hollow" seem as forceful as Buffy the Vampire Slayer; he shows no interest in vesting learned characters with courage.
This film is rated R. WITH: Johnny Depp (Dean Corso), Frank Langella (Boris Balkan), Lena Olin (Liana Telfer), Emmanuelle Seigner (the Girl), Barbara Jefford (Baroness Kessler) and Jack Taylor (Victor Fargas).

Dean Tavoularis considers a set as something physical to be seen, touched and felt.
His works are real passing architectures; whether it’s a house on a lake, a ruin in the jungle, a street in no matter what city; each colour, each object and each detail has to be just right to create the atmosphere required by the movie.

Although he starred in only three films, Dean's legend and cinematic legacy have lasted long beyond his 24 years.
Warner Brothers provided rarely seen screen tests, outtakes and extensive clips from Dean's films East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant, which were crafted in the space of less than two years with three seminal directors, Elia Kazan, Nicholas Ray and George Stevens.
Evocative of the 1950s era of beatniks and hot-rods, a sizzling New York jazz scene and Brando on Broadway, Sense Memories is a precise slice of Dean's life: the brief period between the start of filming East of Eden and the end of filming Giant.

 Review of Art Directors in Cinema
Francis Ford Coppola admitted that on the rare occasions when he and production designer Dean Tavoularis had a different take on a set problem, Tavoularis was usually right.
This neglect of course pays highest tribute to the art directors, who stay, quite literally, in the shadows and define their presence most fully by absence, either through achieving mimesis on screen and eliminating the fourth wall or through integrating their style with that of the directors they work alongside.
In his interview with Cineaste, Dean Tavoularis points out that in most cases the moviegoer should not even notice the set.

A subtle but extremely important factor in the primal grip Polanski’s thrillers exercise on audiences is the director’s insistence on visual consistency throughout a film.
For the New York skyline behind the actors, Dean’s team provided a very good-quality slide from America [from which a TransLite was fashioned].
Khondji lent the space a powerfully musty atmosphere, as if this haven of old literature was somehow disengaged from the modern world represented by the hustling pairs of legs darting past the store’s windows.

 Film-Forward Review: [ONE FROM THE HEART]
Judged on its merits, the film is mostly effective.
Dean Tavoularis' production design and the neon lighting accentuate the story, adding an incongruous grandly romantic dimension to the tale of a working-class couple, Hank (Forrest) and Frannie (Garr).
When the movie becomes abstract - which happens mostly in sequences featuring Hank's lover, circus performer Leila (Kinski) - it becomes too precious.

Like the plain middle sibling stuck between a glamorous attention-seeking sister (Venice Film Festival) and the dull if dutiful brother (Viennale), San Sebastian's cinematic charms don't leap out at you; but this festival – set in one of the most charming cities in Spain – is there if you take the time to look.
With the jury this year headed by the not-very-visible jury president Anjelica Huston, along with award-winning French writer/director Claude Miller and legendary production designer Dean Tavoularis, San Sebastian corrals films into tidy groups, beginning with the official competition section, which must only contain films that have not competed elsewhere.
Opening with the lizard-themed Spanish drama 'Obaba' and closing with Anthony Hopkins's vehicle 'The World's Fastest Indian', by Kiwi director Roger Donaldson, the films in official competition ranged from a very American-feeling Chinese film, 'Sunflower', by director Zhang Yang, to the touching mature romance of 'Je Ne Suis Pas Là Pour Etre Aimé'.
