``Being There'' was a real comeback for Sellers. Sellers, who had appeared in almost no films except for the `` Pink Panther '' series (63-82) and Stanley Kubrick's ` `The Strange Love '' (64), fell in love with Jerzy Kosinski's original work. It was around 1970 that they started making it into a movie. Sellers traveled to major Hollywood companies with the original work in hand, but none of them were interested. By the late 1970s, Sellers' career had hit rock bottom. Meanwhile, Sellers' long journey finally comes to an end when Lorimar Productions, the TV production company known for the popular TV series "Dallas" (1978-1991), has stepped in to help.
