''The Lonely Lady'' single-handedly transformed him into box-office poison. Though he went on to write another 20+ novels, [[FranchiseKiller none of them were ever adapted again.]]

** Ellen Shepard and Shawn Randall, two of the film's credited screenwriters, never wrote a theatrical film again, with Shepard's only other credits being on documentaries and/or as a technical consultant. This is the only known credit for Randall, period, and this combined with sharing the same surname as the film's main character -- a BrokenBird screenwriter -- has led to some speculation that Randall is a [[AlanSmithee pseudonym]] for someone[[note]](possibly the movie's original director, Matt Cimber)[[/note]] who realised how terrible the film was and took their real name off it. The third screenwriter, John Kershaw got off a little lighter in comparison, working on one more film (the extremely obscure ''Film/YellowhairAndThePecosKid'') and various TV shows until his death a decade after the film's release.
