Dolores and Her Husband Had the Right Theory
Dolores Taylor and Tom Laughlin built a one family studio behind Billy Jack. They wrote, starred, produced, and directed, insisting on four weeks of guaranteed playing time. The film found success in the Midwest after mixed reviews on coasts, prompting Warner Brothers to seek a sequel. The couple’s Midwest appeal and contract freedom shaped the project from packing lunches to locating shoots in Milwaukee to Hollywood.
