Variety commissioned Art Streiber to photograph Jim Gianopulos, chairman and CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, for a recent cover story on his leadership of the famed studio. He shot the portraits in Gianopulos’ first-floor suite in the 1920s-era Old Executive Building.
“Photographing Jim Gianopulos in his private office on the Fox lot felt like a throwback to the golden age of motion pictures,” says Art.
Art also shot portraits of some of Fox’s top executives (Vanessa Morrison, Fox Animation president; Sanford Panitch, Fox International Productions president; Emma Watts, Twentieth Century Fox Productions president; and Elizabeth Gabler, Fox 2000 president) and the execs behind Fox Searchlight’s success (Steve Gilula, Nancy Utley, and Claudia Lewis).
“Gianopulos made a point of wanting to share the spotlight with all of his executives,” recalls Art, “making sure that we were giving equal time to all of the Fox division heads.”
