Thanks.

I knew about Sean Penn, Faye Dunaway, Schroeder and Mikey Rourke. I
wasn't sure about Dennis Hopper and didn't know about Frank Stallone (is
he Lenny Fidelio in the book, right?).

Still, I'm really curious about the real name of Francoise Racine, the
drunk gambling-addicted french actor, friend of Schroeder.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Not sure actually, but Stallone was the bartender in the film who
fought Hank in the "alley". Maybe I'm mixing up the book and the
movie.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

In "Hollywood", Buk is Hank Chinaski. Francoise Racine is a french actor
(drunk but not as much as Buk ^_^) with an insane passion for the
"roulette". Later in the book, Racine and Pinchot (Schroeder) rent a
flat in the black ghetto and they raise some chickens in their garden.

Racine is a really weird character, I believe this character is inspired
to a real french actor friend of Schroeder, but I can't find out his
real name.

There's another character in the book apparently inspired to a famous
Hollywood director: his name in the book is Hector Blackford (Robert
Redford?).

That would be Taylor Hackford, documentarian who later became a
Hollywood director of some note.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
