Encyclopedia > Richard D. Zanuck

Richard Darryl Zanuck (born December 13, 1934) is an American movie producer.


Born in Los Angeles, California, he was the son of Darryl Zanuck, the famed head of Twentieth-Century Fox studios. At one point in the 1970s, his father installed him as an executive at the studio.


For many years his producing partner was David Brown and they were jointly awarded the Irving Thalberg Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1990. They produced two of Steven Spielberg's early films, The Sugarland Express (1974) and Jaws (1975), and went on to produce such box office hits as Cocoon (1985) and Driving Miss Daisy (1989).
