DL fave JULIA PHILLIPS - rare video of her aging ex-husband and producing partner Michael
The man responsible for Taxi Driver, Close Encounters, and The Sting -- and Julia's husband when she was starting out. She paints a complicated picture of Michael in DL tome You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again. It was his money that got their career started and when she went wild, he seemed content to meditate and pursue Buddhism. He attended Dartmouth having grown up in Roslyn NY. He was married to Julia! Can you imagine? I cannot.
Fun fact, his son-in-law, MRC ceo Mod Wiczyk, basically runs Hollywood now.

Was her book any good? Or is it full of fiction?

I remember them winning the Oscar and noting it was always Michael Phillips and Julia Phillips, not Michael and Julia Phillips.

It’s hard to find her book in print but I’m dying to read it.
