Chinatown, Marathon Man, Rosemary’s Baby and Wayne’s World are just a sampling of the films on Hollywood producer and former assistant director Hawk Koch’s resume, and next November the former Motion Picture Academy president will chronicle his career in a memoir titled Magic Time: My Life in Hollywood.
Publishing house Post Hill Press announced the memoir today, describing the book as “the story of his growing up as the namesake son of a legendary producer and how he came to carve out his own successful career. Including Hollywood stories and people that are beyond belief and larger than life.”
Koch’s 2012-13 tenure as president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences included initiatives including a call for Academy diversity, and the launch of the first general membership meeting in its history. The Academy during Koch’s tenure secured major fundraising for the new Academy Museum.
