Bill Gerber: The Super-Producer Behind 'A Star Is Born' and 'Gran Torino'

Paul and Skip have an audience with a man who’s films have racked up an astonishing 47 Oscar noms over the course of his incredible career. During his long tenure at Warner Brothers, he helped bring classics like Goodfellas, JFK, Unforgiven, Heat, L.A. Confidential, and Twister to the big screen before embarking on an ultra-successful run as an independent producer. His reputation as a Hollywood visionary stems from the fact that he’s seen it all. During this candid interview, Gerber recounts his youth as a showbiz kid, rubbing shoulders with Paul’s Rat Pack friends alongside his agent father. He shares tales from his early days in the music industry, working with rock legends like Joni Mitchell and Neil Young as well as developing acts like Devo and The Cars in the burgeoning post-punk and New Wave scene. Gerber also shares rare insights into his decades-long creative alliance with Clint Eastwood, and explains the long journey to get the blockbuster ‘A Star Is Born’ off the ground.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
