Oscar-winning producer -- via the Hollywood Reporter. With Irwin Winkler, made many of the great films of his time -- "Rocky," "Raging Bull," "The Right Stuff," Boorman's "Point Blank," "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?", Reisz's "The Gambler," "True Confessions," "The New Centurions." Even his Charles Bronson vehicle "The Mechanic" is arguably Bronson's best. As the Hollywood Reporter piece states so succinctly, "Their films collected 12 Oscars and 40 nominations". He made a lot of money and he made good work -- these goals are not incompatible. Mighty impressive.
