On the set of "American Graffiti", 1973. L to R: Jana Bellan, co-writer/director George Lucas. After the box-office disappointment of "THX-1138" (1971), Lucas focused on stories from his days growing up in Modesto, CA. No studio wanted to take a chance except Universal on the strict condition it was shot for a low budget. It cost $775,000 to produce, earned over $200 million - making it one of the most profitable movies of all time - and gave Lucas the clout to create "Star Wars".
