World Premiere - Friday, May 8, 1981 - Tucson, AZ
Jackie Kong made her directorial debut with the horror film BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, starring Martin Landau, Jose Ferrer, Dorothy Malone, and Ruth Buzzi. The world premiere was in Tucson, where the movie played for over a month.
For whatever reason, it took two and a half years for the movie to find a distributor (Best Film & Video) and get a regional release as THE BEING.
(Above) Another 10 months passed before it reached the New York tri-state area on September 14, 1984.
