Author and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas, the man behind the movies Basic Instinct, Flashdance, and Jagged Edge, is now a devout Catholic.
“Frankly my life changed from the moment God entered my heart. I’m not interested in the darkness anymore,” he said. “I’ve got four gorgeous boys, a wife I adore, I love being alive, and I love and enjoy every moment of my life. My view has brightened and I don’t want to go back into that dark place.” . . .
“The Eucharist and the presence of the body and blood of Christ is, in my mind, an overwhelming experience for me. I find that Communion for me is empowering. It’s almost a feeling of a kind of high.”

Joe discussed his book and conversion with me last Saturday on “Catholic Radio 2.0!”. Hear here.
I’m not sure; but I think I saw a book (audio tapes) he did on his career in Hollywood, a couple of years ago… (on one of my visits to the local library)
Yes, he did. It’s linked to his name above actually.
