His legacy as an entertainer was hardly limited to the concert stage. In 1986, Michael Jackson starred in the film “Captain EO,” conceived by Disney in the form of a 3-D theme park attraction. With characteristic flourish, the late King of Pop—playing the fearless titular hero—performs a number to convert the icy heart of his alien nemesis (Anjelica Huston). The director? Francis Ford Coppola, of “Apocalypse Now” and “The Godfather” fame.
