| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | The Sound of Music (1965) did more damage to the industry than any other picture. Everyone tried to copy it. We were the biggest offenders. |
| 2 | This is a business where you make decisions using your gut. |
| 3 | [about his father, studio boss Darryl F. Zanuck, being fired from his job] It was hard to see my father go through that. I recovered from being fired, I don't think he ever did. |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | Ironically, both Richard D. Zanuck and his father Darryl F. Zanuck died at the age of 77 (in 2012 and 1979, respectively). |
| 2 | The commercial and critical failure of the expensively-produced musical extravaganzas, Doctor Dolittle (1967) and Star! (1968), led to him being ousted as head of production at 20th Century Fox in 1970. |
| 3 | Had his greatest successes as head of his own production company, in association with David Brown, turning out mega hits like The Sting (1973) and Jaws (1975). |
| 4 | Between 2001 and 2012, he collaborated on six films with director Tim Burton, beginning with the remake of Planet of the Apes (2001) and ending with Dark Shadows (2012). |
| 5 | In 1965 met producing partner David Brown during a stint at FOX. |
| 6 | Accompanied his father to the studio from an early age and assisted in reviewing rough cuts for studio executives. |
| 7 | Brother of Darrilyn Zanuck DePineda. |
| 8 | Tribute in the Memory of Film section at the Flanders International Film Festival in Ghent, Belgium. [2001] |
| 9 | Father, with Linda Harrison, of sons Harrison Zanuck and Dean Zanuck. |
| 10 | Son of Hollywood producer Darryl F. Zanuck and actress Virginia Fox. |
