I also knew Richard. Funny I knew him in his professional world first.
He was at Warner Bros. for 25 years. He was head of Theatrical
Research. My first job in the industry was theatrical research at 20th
Century Fox. Richard warmly welcomed me to the club and was generous in
sharing advice on how to navigate the tricky world of theatrical research.
(No one likes to know their film they spent 10 years of their life
working on didn¹t test well with an audience. Or why people decided not
to come see it. Etc..)
It was years afterward when I got much more into the Poster Collecting
hobby that our path¹s crossed again. He will be deeply missed in our
poster world and in the entertainment industry.
