Lowest Rated: 90% Desert Hearts (1985)

Birthday: Jun 8, 1945

Birthplace: San Francisco, California, USA

Though her feature credits have been scant to date, Donna Deitch has earned a very small but honorable place in American film history. More specifically, she has been a pioneer in the area of gay and lesbian cinematic representation as the producer and director of "Desert Hearts" (1985), generally acknowledged as the first "mainstream" feature to deal sympathetically and realistically with the lesbian experience.
