The Kid Stays in the Picture

00:01:08 The Los Angeles Times once said...

00:05:04 Oh, yeah, sure. Talking pictures.

00:08:49 Suddenly, Zanuck stands up, all 5'3" of him, picks up a bullhorn:

00:12:20 I want a three-picture deal.

00:15:42 There was, to put it mildly...

00:19:27 We both come out of the same school of drama, the drama of life.

00:22:53 I swear by all the saints, I haven't.

00:28:05 She kept on digging into me. Oh, and she was loving it.

00:32:18 I promise you, baby, I won't. Not even for two weeks.

00:35:48 ...Bluhdorn handed me my walking papers.

00:39:08 ...working closely with them to make these books the bestsellers they are...

00:42:56 Over the next four years, we would collect 144 Oscar nominations...

00:46:09 Sell it, or shake hands with the devil.

00:49:19 I was parked at the Carlyle Hotel, making last-minute preparations...

00:52:57 Nah, I said to myself, it couldn't be.

00:56:17 Bluhdorn wasn't smart. He was brilliant.

00:59:46 ...A Woman Under the Influence. And the winner is...

01:04:38 You see pictures of me with beautiful women.

01:08:36 When it was over, he came to me and said:

01:12:54 You say Evans would second-guess you if he was back in command?

01:16:46 After getting into her chauffeur-driven limousine...

01:21:25 ...I knew that action, not therapy, was my only shot at survival.

01:25:37 And back to my old offices, the best on the lot.

01:30:22 Send her something.
