OVERVIEW

My early life was like a movie, a lot of movies actually. My godmother is Liza Minnelli. My maternal grandmother, Phyllis Thaxter, has a star on Hollywood Boulevard, and my paternal great grandfather produced the first Greta Garbo movie. My stepmother, Jane, is Charlie Chaplin’s daughter and the granddaughter of Eugene O’Neill. Many books and articles have been written about James Aubrey, “The Smiling Cobra,” president of CBS and later MGM, who was responsible for television shows like “Leave It To Beaver,” “The Beverly Hillbillies,” and “Gilligan’s Island.” He was also my grandfather.
And my parents? Well, my dad and his father produced the Superman films with Christopher Reeve. My life has been full of wonderful surprises and consistent creative madness.
