John Calley, a studio executive who was in the thick of the upheaval in late 1960s American cinema, has died. He was executive at Warner Bros from 1968 to 1981. He more recently spent seven years at Sony Pictures.Watch a documentary on film directors like Stanley Kubrick or the 'Movie Brats' (George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, etc), and there he is, in all his soft-spoken glory.
He looked like a nice and well-balanced guy, for someone who was in a pressure cooker of a job.
