One of the most artistically and commercially successful producers in Hollywood history, a 2018 recipient of the Academy’s Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, reflects on breaking into the biz 53 years ago with Peter Bogdanovich, the chance encounter that resulted in his longtime collaboration with Steven Spielberg and marriage to Kathleen Kennedy and what inspired him to direct — for the first time in 14 years — a music doc that’s now up for six Emmys.
