...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 Geneviève was the film...
Warner Bros.-Seven Arts has Kenneth Hyman, 39, as its executive vice president in charge of production. Like Dick Zanuck, Ken Hyman was to the studio born: his father Eliot is chairman of the board of Warner Bros.-Seven Arts. Married to an English girl, Ken Hyman is a relaxed Anglophile who openly wishes his work would allow him to live in London. As a compromise of sorts, he had his script-cluttered Hollywood office decorated in dark-paneled English-club style. Hyman first earned his stars as an independent producer in 1965 with The Hill, an acerbic antiwar film...
20th Century-Fox now takes orders from Richard Zanuck, 33, executive vice president in charge of production. A tough, laconic demon for physical fitness (he does 50 push-ups a day before starting work), Darryl Zanuck's only son sometimes talks like one of the old-time tyrants. "I'll practically do anything short of murder to achieve what I want," he says. After graduating from Stanford and serving as an Army lieutenant, he got his first film job as production assistant on his father's 1957 version of The Sun Also Rises. In 1962, Darryl Zanuck...
...three years Evans sleepwalked his way through the kind of pretty-boy roles that George Hamilton now gets, then went back to fashions. In 1959, Revlon purchased Evan-Picone in a deal that eventually made Evans rich enough to return to Hollywood as an independent producer for Dick Zanuck at Fox. Two years ago, when young Millionaire Charles Bluhdorn (TIME, Dec. 3, 1965) bought Paramount and began raiding other studios for talent, his first recruit was Evans. Unlike Zanuck and Hyman, who make the deals and handle the creative side of moviemaking, Evans is responsible only for the production schedule...
Still as lean and trim as a ship of the line, Britain's Admiral of the Fleet Earl Mountbatten, of Burma, 67, sailed into Manhattan to fire off a salute to such old friends as Darryl F. 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...
