"Throughout the film's production, [20th Century Fox chairman Bill] Mechanic—especially Mechanic—had taken on the pressure with a wavering composure. He had stood up for

—from chapter 12 of
What Just Happened? Bitter Hollywood Tales from the Front Line (2002) by Art Linson, producer of
Fight Club,
Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and
Into the Wild but not Jodie Foster's
The Beaver, which is "
boldy original," according to
People magazine
