DAVID Brown, a film and theater producer who helped bring "Jaws" and "The Sting" to the screen has died. He was 93.
Brown, husband of longtime Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Brown, died on Monday at his Manhattan home following a long illness.
Brown came to Hollywood in 1953, in the waning years of the studio system, and remained active into the 21st century. As a producer, he was nominated for the best picture Oscar four times, for "Jaws," 1975; "The Verdict," 1982; "A Few Good Men," 1992; and "Chocolat," 2000.
"Yes, I've survived," he told The New York Times in 1999. "At a certain age you become cool, not cold. I kind of represent the new and old Hollywood."
