...history of movies in the '90s--or in any room--Weinstein looms large. Biskind portrays Miramax's Brobdingnagian bully as a movie-loving maniac prone to physical violence, verbal attacks and financial shenanigans. Those sins are usually forgiven because his little studio in Manhattan's Tribeca has backed many of the best, most original flicks in recent memory, including Pulp Fiction, The English Patient and Chicago, and he ponied up big time when MGM got cold feet about co-funding Cold Mountain...
...school at UCLA. By 1971 I had won my first Oscar, for co-screenwriting Patton, followed the next year by my success with The Godfather. Later I made a wide variety of films, such as Apocalypse Now and One From the Heart, a romantic musical shot entirely in a studio, just like the live television shows I had enjoyed as a 9year...

His novels (Dutch Shea, Jr.; True Confessions) were full of Irishry--tough and compassionate, knowing without being cynical, true expressions of a complicated, cranky, lovable man whose hatred of hypocrisy was legendary. But his best subject was Hollywood, which he anatomized in two books (Monster; The Studio) and many articles. These were inside jobs--but without the malevolence and condescension many writers bring to their true tales of movie work. Dunne generally preferred the passionate "bullies" to the "smoothies," smiling as they measure your rib cage for a shiv. He often found, of all things, civility...
