David Brown, the producer behind hit films including Jaws and The Sting, has died.
Brown, 93, brought Elvis to the small screen for the first time in Love Me Tender, before taking up a job at Fox.
He later set up his own company with Richard Zanuck, producing both Jaws and The Sting - which won an Oscar for best film in 1973.
Later, he was behind movies such as Driving Miss Daisy, Chocolat and Angela's Ashes.
Brown was nominated four times for a best picture Oscar - but never won.
He leaves his wife Helen Gurley Brown, the long-time editor of Cosmopolitan magazine.
Brown died on Monday at his Manhattan home following a long illness, according to the Hearst Corporation, which owns Cosmopolitan.
Brown's Broadway production credits included two musicals based on movies, The Sweet Smell of Success in 2002 and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels in 2005.
The BBC reports both were nominated for best musical at the Tony awards.
