...managing director of Japan's Nagano radio and television network, wanted to take a leave of absence. And for what reason, director-san? Why, to be a movie star-to play the role of Admiral Nomura, Japan's prewar ambassador in Washington in Tora! Toraf, Tora!, Darryl Zanuck's multimillion-dollar spectacular about the attack on Pearl Harbor. The board members were dumfounded. Eventually, says Obata, they agreed because "they were convinced that if I could help tell Japan's story in the great tragedy correctly, then I should...
...Flea in Her Ear with a lengthy list of notables including Maria Callas, Dewi Sukarno, and, of course, Dick and Liz. An aspiring young French actress like Geneviève Gilles, 20, would ordinarily be lost in that flashy crowd. But Geneviève arrived on the arm of Darryl F. Zanuck, 66, who has promoted the careers of such stars as Bella Darvi, Juliette Greco and Irina Demick. And Zanuck has already made Geneviève something of a star. He directed the 23-minute short, The World of Fashion, that preceded Flea on the program, and Genevi...
20th Century-Fox now takes orders from Richard Zanuck, 33, executive vice president in charge of production.

Zanuck, Spyros P. Skouras and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. at the Americana Hotel. The earl first fell in with moviefolk back in the 1930s, when they donated movies to entertain the crews on Royal Navy warships, so it was only natural to return the favor by helping out at a fund-raising drive for show business's Variety Clubs International charities. Queen...
Hollywood is beyond parody. Almost anything said or written about it, no matter how absurd, somehow, somewhere, some time comes close to the truth. Author Richard Condon, who spent 22 years as a pressagent for Producers Cecil B. DeMille, Sam Goldwyn, Darryl Zanuck, et a!., has tried to defy that basic Hollywood tenet by inventing a story so preposterous that it cannot possibly seem real. He has only partly succeeded...
