It's a hard way to make a living, even when it is supplemented by income from odd jobs like the technical-adviser gig Chuck landed for the 1990 film Arachnophobia. So for most of the past decade, Chuck handed scaled-back day-to-day operations of Spider Pharm to Anita--a former machinist from Czechoslovakia who has become as smitten as her husband with spiders--while he worked for American Cyanamid, helping...
