He was considered a lock for the chairmanship of Gulf & Western, Paramount's parent company. Then he lost a power struggle and jumped ship for 20th Century Fox in 1984. His reason for subsequently leaving Fox in 1992 was straightforward: "It's not mine," he said at the time. "I'm both young enough and old enough to want to own my own store ...
