Personal Quote:

Richard Donner was a particular delight. He's a wonderful kind of old-fashioned director, from what I would have thought the golden days of Hollywood must have been from the '30s and '40s. He was just a big, handsome, strapping, strong, delightful, cigar-smoking, very open, gregarious guy. He would talk to anybody. He never closed off the set. See more »

Trivia:

His son E. Taylor Atkins graduated from Peters Township High School in Pennsylvania. See more »
