  Saul Zaentz - Biography - AOL Music
Born into a Russian-Polish family in Passaic New Jersey, Saul Zaentz ran away at age 15, beginning the start of an adventurous life that would eventually lead him to immense wealth and even an Oscar.
After release he studied animal husbandry at Rutgers for a semester, but some actual time spent on a chicken farm proved to Zaentz that it was not his dream vocation and he moved to San Francisco in the early '50s, eventually landing a job as a record distributor for Norman Grantz.
Zaentz struck back in a rather odd way, by suing Fogerty for ripping off his own song (which Zaentz owned the rights to).

Starring Jack Nicholson and based on Ken Kesey's underground classic, the film became one of the biggest -- and least likely -- critical and commercial smashes of the day, earning a best picture Oscar for Zaentz and co-producer Michael Douglas.
Zaentz's subsequent efforts, often literary adaptations, have usually been worth the wait, particularly AMADEUS (1984), another Oscar champion, THE ENGLISH PATIENT (1996) and THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING (1988), which introduced Lena Olin to American audiences.
