Of the 37 15 women who signed the petition, none were born in the United States. Most of the foreign-born signers are French, which makes you wonder how one country can support so many movie directors.
Among the 18 Americans who signed:
Woody Allen (cue spit-take)
Wes Anderson
Jonathan Demme
Buck Henry (who played the pedophilic babysitter, "Uncle Roy," on "SNL" during the 1970s)
John Landis (who was charged with involuntary manslaughter for the deaths of Vic Morrow and 2 children on the set of the Twilight Zone)
David Lynch
Michael Mann
Martin Scorcese
The real heartbreakers are Demme, Lynch, and Scorcese.
