Black may be a math teacher in Sheepshead Bay, but is as persistent as any Hollywood agent. He not only landed Rooney, but has gotten more press coverage for any unreleased film since "The Day the Clown Cried." Then again, he must be doing something right: Black also got Dick Cavett, Louise Lasser, and Celeste Holm to appear in the film, which centers on neurotic Elliot's cross-country car trip to meet the woman of his dreams (he's afraid of flying).
