Bruce Ramer, Attorney Who Gave the ‘Jaws’ Shark Its Name, on Navigating Hollywood as Film Turns 50
June 20th marks the release of Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws,” one of the most impactful American films ever released.
Chatting with Ramer about the changes he’s seen in Hollywood 50 years after his client, Spielberg, made film history, it’s clear that his survival and continuing relevance and respect aren’t about animal instincts, but perhaps their opposite. Try to imagine going toe-to-toe for your legal clients with the biggest, most powerful studio chiefs, agency lords and moguls over the past half-century and you probably picture lots of screaming, gnashing of teeth and blood in the water, so to speak. Ramer’s recollections aren’t chock full of red meat — no tales of hard-fought victories, though an action-packed book from his decades of legal wrangling on behalf of the A-listers would be a page-turner.
