| | Lycos Movies - Biography - Gary Kurtz (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Kurtz's relative anonymity was caused in part by what some regard as a premature, if not acrimonious, split with the Lucas in the early 1980s. |
 | | Kurtz became a trusted and valuable right-hand man to Lucas, as the small production struggled with a rigorous all-night shooting schedule and mostly inexperienced actors, nearly all of whom — including Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Harrison Ford and Cindy Williams — would go on to become stars. |
 | | Next, Kurtz produced "Return to Oz" (1985), a slightly bent take on the much beloved fantasy film, which ended up turning off both the studio and audiences who questioned what the point of remaking such a film was. |
