Personal Quote:

...Everyone was worried about the performance of Twentieth Century Fox. To make matters worse, Darryl F. Zanuck had a girl that he kept putting in pictures, and Dick didn't like it. He felt it diminished the process and at one point Darryl got it in his head that both Dick and I were trying to remove him from office ... a hostile takeover, if you will. But we weren't!

Trivia:

Launched a successful production company, with Richard D. Zanuck, in the 1970s with two of Steven Spielberg's early films, The Sugarland Express (1974) and Jaws (1975). See more »
