Darryl F. Zanuck

Screenwriter / Film Producer / Actor / Film Director | * 09/05/1902 († 77, 12/22/1979) | Wahoo, Nebraska (United States of America (USA))
Darryl Francis Zanuck (September 5, 1902 – December 22, 1979) was an American film producer and studio executive; he earlier contributed stories for films starting in the silent era. He played a major part in the Hollywood studio system as one of its longest survivors (the length of his career was rivaled only by that of Adolph Zukor). He produced three films that won the Academy Award for Best Picture during his tenure at 20th Century Fox. ()
