How come our knowledge of Simone de Beauvoir is so limited? It's not like she wrote only 1 book.

Kinda remind me of 60's bands before they learned performance, or late folk era - something very earnest.

Realized I'd seen Hauer in 2 movies long ago, Turkish Delight & Spetters from his Dutch movie days.
But his brilliant presence in Blade Runner remains unforgettable, including the mesmerizing final soliloquy he penned, knowing he needed something special, something more - the replicant with a soul, with vigor, with yearning.
Somewhat like his take-no-prisoners approach to life - he lived what he felt, pushed the edges - "now you've seen some of my world", he cautioned a shaken journalist he'd just taken on a gonzo 200+ km/h motorcycle ride, "now you can interview me".

Yeah, once upon a time people in bands could work on cars, do normal things.
