Lord David Putnam

In march I had the opportunity to attend a talk hosted by Lord David Putnam at college. This was a very informative talk in which he discussed his life both on and off screen. He talked about his role as producer in the Hollywood Blockbuster film Chariots of Fire as well as producing Bugsy Malone and Midnight Express. He was CEO of Columbia Pictures from 1987 to 1988, and after this went back to producing films with Enigma Productions. In 1998 he retired from film production to concentrate more on his work in education and the environment.

I found this talk very informative and interesting as has had an illustrious career in Hollywood and talked about what it was like to work with certain actor in the films and thought he was very inspiring to me and the rest of the people that were present.
