Bill Murray — Murray was another in a long line of former “Saturday Night Live” comedic and theatrical superstars who, after the mega success of Stripes (1983) and especially Ghostbusters (1984) ran into a wall of movie mediocrity with Razor’s Edge and Nothing Lasts Forever. So Murray bounced out of Hollywood for the picturesque hills of France. The moratorium from the left lane of the superhighway of Hollywood proved therapeutic, and invigorating. Murray returned to Bev Hills and eventually filmed the comedy classic Ground Hog Day.
