  Joan Vollmer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While a student at Barnard College she became the roommate of Edie Parker (later married to Jack Kerouac) and their apartment became a gathering place for the Beats during the 1940s, where Joan Vollmer was often at the center of marathon, all night discussions.
She left her upper middle class family to attend college in New York City in the early 1940s, and soon afterward became married to Paul Adams, a law student who was drafted and enrolled in the armed services during World War II, and was not on the scene during most of the early Beat years.
Joan Vollmer met Edie Parker at the West End Bar and moved in together in the first of a series of apartments in New York's Upper West Side that they shared with the writers, hustlers and drug addicts that later became known as the Beats.

Many of his excellent early films were shot in his native Long Island on shoestring budgets, offering breakthrough roles to Parker Posey, Edie Falco, and Martin Donovan.
The Unbelievable Truth, Surviving Desire, Simple Men, and especially his literate 1990 romance, Trust, were smart suburban dramas peppered with deadpan philosophizing, scored with Yo La Tengo tracks and Hartley’s own guitar playing—arty anthems for a generation of film lovers, embraced by a small, proud subculture and held very tightly by it.
