Editing L. M. Kit Carson (section)

==Career==
Carson first gained the notice of the film world when he starred in [[Jim McBride]]'s [[mockumentary]] ''[[David Holzman's Diary]]'' in 1967 as the title character, a man so obsessed with filmmaking that he allows his obsession to take over his life and ruin his relationships. The two teamed up again in the early 1980s, sharing screenplay credits for the 1983 remake of ''[[Breathless (1983 film)|Breathless]]''; this starred [[Richard Gere]] and [[Valérie Kaprisky]]. Kit Carson's break-out accomplishment was co-writing, with [[Sam Shepard]], the screenplay for the 1984 film ''[[Paris, Texas (film)|Paris, Texas]]'', which featured his son [[Hunter Carson]] in his film debut.<ref>{{cite web |title=Four Decades After L.M.
