	Darryl F. Zanuck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Darryl Francis Zanuck (September 5, 1902–December 22, 1979) was a producer, writer, actor and director who played a major part in the Hollywood studio system as its longest survivor.
		Zanuck was born in Wahoo, Nebraska, the son of a hotelier of Dutch descent.
		Zanuck was vice-president of this new studio and took an interventionist approach, closely involved in editing and producing.

		Darryl F. Zanuck was that relative rarity among the movie moguls, a truly engaged, hands-on studio chief whose involvement with movies grew out of real talent, and not merely an accident of ownership.
		Zanuck shepherded Warner Bros. out the silents and into the full sound era, and by the early '30s, he was one of the most powerful and respected men in the movie business, and not yet 30 years old.
		Darryl Zanuck passed away in 1979 at the age of 77, but his name was so ubiquitous in its attachment to great movies that he remains a relatively well-known figure out of Hollywood's gold and silver ages.

		Zanuck began his career writing scripts for Rin Tin Tin as an employee for Warner Borthers, and ended up as the second most powerful man at the studio.
		One of the kingpins of Hollywood's studio system, Zanuck was the offspring of the ill-fated marriage of the alcoholic night clerk in Wahoo, Nebraska's only hotel and the hotel owner's promiscuous daughter.
		Zanuck returned to run 20th Century-Fox; he promoted his son, Richard D. Zanuck, to head of production, then engineered his firing in a messy boardroom brawl.

	Cigar Aficionado \| People Profile \| Daryl Zanuck
		Zanuck, his cigar always firmly clamped between his teeth, was the "supreme commander" involved in just about every detail of the huge cinematic undertaking--right down to the timing of explosions on the sound track.
		Zanuck erected a huge crane on the invasion site and installed his camera on a platform that could be raised and lowered up and down the side of the cliff.
		Zanuck prevented a riot when the hundreds of onlookers who had come to watch the filming of the battle for Sainte-Mère-Église suddenly saw "German soldiers" (actually French extras in German uniforms) march into the main square.

		Dick Zanuck turned 70 last year, and maybe a hint of relaxation has appeared in the terrific drive, authority, American handsomeness and chronic decisiveness that his great, feared yet beloved father, Darryl F., instilled in him.
		Dick Zanuck produced "Compulsion" for dad when he was only 25, and it's still a strong, worthy movie, with 10 great minutes from Orson Welles, and performances from Dean Stockwell and Bradford Dillman that took the acting prize at Cannes (the three shared the laurel that year).
		So Dick Zanuck is a veteran and a revered figure, still patient with Zanuck jokes and still eager to find good material.

		By the mid-'30s, before the merger had even taken place, Zanuck was so successful that the numbers in The Hollywood Reporter had risen from the thousands to the millions.
		He briefly left the studio to become an independent producer in the late 1950s, experiencing a succession of flops before he scored a giant hit with "The Longest Day," then returned when Fox was on the verge of collapse in the early 1960s after the $44 million "Cleopatra" nearly killed it.
		If Thalberg remained quintessentially a man of the shadows, Zanuck was out there in the spotlight, and his flamboyance has made him the very archetype of a studio chief, a man for whom the word "mogul" seems to have been invented.

		Obviously this is an overly familiar tale, as the head of a family puts together a fortune which is dissipated by children and grandchildren.
		Although the book is meticulously researched, Darryl and Richard have been better covered elsewhere (e.g., in Leonard Mosley's Zanuck, LJ 4/1/74, on Darryl Zanuck), and none of the other offspring merit much coverage.
