Julia Phillips (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Julia Phillips (April 7, 1944 - January 1, 2002) was a film producer and author. She is remembered for being the first woman to win an Academy Award as a film's producer, and for a best selling tell-all memoir. Born Julia Miller in New York City, she received her B.A. in Political Science from Mount Holyoke College in 1965, where she met Michael Phillips, whom she married, and whom she would later divorce. She worked for a time editing articles. In 1973, The Sting won the Academy Award for Best Picture and made Phillips the first woman to win an Oscar as a producer (an award shared by Tony Bill and Phillips' then-husband Michael Phillips). In 1977, Taxi Driver, produced by the Phillipses, was nominated for Best Picture.
