David Bowie ‘at the height of his beauty’ in ‘Man Who Fell to Earth’: co-star
starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Naomi Harris, is based on the 1976 movie starring David Bowie and Candy Clark — which made a splash with its onscreen nudity and trippy take on a humanoid who arrives on Earth in a bid to save his planet from extinction.“It’s kind of about what’s happening today in its depiction of a planet that’s dying from a drought,” Clark, 74, told The Post about director Nicolas Roeg’s film, which was based on Walter Nevis’ 1963 sci-fi novel. “It’s definitely the highlight of my acting career.”“The Man Who Fell to Earth” began shooting in New Mexico in July 1975.
