George Lucas was a big admirer of Arthur Lipsett since his days at USC
citing him as an influence yet when he made millions in 1977 he did not offer
one penny to him. Lipsett died destitute some ten years larter. That is
Hollywood to you.
Coppola used to say that Lucas was always incredibly cheap. He'd never
spend his own money on films, nor would he try to use his personal contacts to
get deals for a production he was involved in, if they ever needed it.
Schmuck. And his post-75 films look it, too. He's an artistic failure for
sure. Space operas are his legacy? How sad.
And btw, whatever happened to that desire of his (a la Vanity Fair) to grow
again as an artist, to recover some of his old steam from the late 60s?
Imagine having that much money and then doing nothing with it.
