- Director
This screenwriter and director won acclaim for his first two produced screenplays, Where the River Runs Black (1986) and River's Edge (1986). The latter, arguably, was the first grimly honest portrait of what would soon come to be called "Generation X." Unlike, say, Reality Bites (1994), the adolescent protagonists who populated River's Edge were not cuddly in their surliness. Opening with an obese dead-eyed youth seated next to his freshly murdered girlfriend, the film presented a chilling collection of sullen and hopeless characters including Dennis Hopper's crazed ex-hippie burnout and Crispin Glover's manic speed freak.
Jimenez co-scripted (with Marshall Brickman and Lindy Laub) For the Boys (1991), a slight but overlong musical drama with a skimpy historical overview. This diverting, if forgettable, Bette Midler vehicle followed brassy entertainer Dixie Leonard as she entertained the troops from WWII to Vietnam to today. Jimenez made his directorial debut (co-helming with Michael Steinberg) with The Waterdance (1992), the story of a quadriplegic writer played by Eric Stoltz. Set in a physical rehab center, the film dealt movingly and unflinchingly with differences in class and temperament between the patients, as well as between Stoltz and his able-bodied girlfriend. Scripted by Jimenez, The Waterdance was based on his personal experiences after a 1984 accident paralyzed him.
Jimenez was also one of five writers credited with Sleep with Me (1994), a slight comedy about a man (Eric Stoltz) who confesses his love for the wife (Meg Tilly) of a friend (Craig Sheffer). He also worked on the adaptation of Dean R. Koontz' novel Hideaway (1995), a muddled suspense thriller about a man (Jeff Goldblum) whose near-death experience links him with a serial killer which in turn threatens his family.- Script and Continuity Department

Chris Boucher was best known as a scriptwriter for Doctor Who (1963) during seasons 14 and 15. After grammar school, Boucher spent a year in Australia working on a railway before returning to Britain. His proper working life began as a management trainee for Calor Gas, a key company supplying liquefied petroleum gas to the UK. Boucher's employers were eager for him to attain further qualifications and sent him to Essex University, from where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics. At this juncture, he turned to writing as a means to gain extra income. He began by supplying short stories to women's magazines. His first forays into writing for television were for the series Braden's Week (1968) and as a creator of gags for Dave Allen's show .
As a youngster, Boucher had been fascinated with science fiction, avidly devouring magazines like Amazing Stories and New Worlds. He was thus quick to act on his agent's advice that he submit some of his own ideas to Doctor Who writer/script editor Robert Holmes and producer Philip Hinchcliffe. This resulted in Boucher being commissioned to write the episodes The Face of Evil, The Robots of Death and Image of the Fendahl, in the process bringing to life Tom Baker 's companion character Leela (played by Louise Jameson). Having by now quit his job at Calor Gas, Boucher went on to work as a script editor and writer for Blake's 7 (1978), Juliet Bravo (1980) and Bergerac (1981), as well as devising his own short-lived sci-fi series Star Cops (1987). Boucher attributed the rather brief run of Star Cops on the BBC to a poor time slot. Later in his career, he turned to writing several Doctor Who novelisations which featured the character of Leela.- Yôko Fujiyama was born on 17 December 1941 in Yokohama, Japan.
