Richard D. Zanuck (1934-2012)

Richard Darryl Zanuck, born December 13, 1934, in Los Angeles, California, and passed away on July 13, 2012, was a prominent American film producer. He was the son of Darryl F. Zanuck, the legendary head of 20th Century Fox.

Richard Zanuck's career spanned several decades and included numerous critically acclaimed and commercially successful films. Early in his career, he held various production roles at 20th Century Fox, eventually becoming president. Some of his early notable productions at Fox include The Sound of Music (1965) and Planet of the Apes (1968). He and David Brown, his production partner, later formed their own production company, Zanuck/Brown Productions, and produced such iconic films as The Sting (1973), which won the Academy Award for Best Picture, and Jaws (1975), which became a blockbuster hit.

Later, he partnered with his wife, Lili Fini Zanuck, forming The Zanuck Company. They produced Driving Miss Daisy (1989), which also won the Academy Award for Best Picture, and Cocoon (1985), among other successful films. He continued to produce films into the 21st century, with notable projects including Road to Perdition (2002), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), and Dark Shadows (2012), which was released shortly before his death.
