Eleanor Coppola

Her husband Francis Ford Coppola’s film Apocalypse Now necessitated 283 days of shooting on location in the Philippines, during which Martin Sheen suffered a heart attack; the film was not completed until 1979, ten years after the project began. Eleanor Coppola published a book on the making of the film, Notes on the Making of Apocalypse Now, in 1979 and used her behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot to make the documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, released in 1990.
