The pair scored immediately with their first collaboration, the Oscar-winning Best Picture "The Sting" (1973), and then proved themselves remarkable judges of talent, breaking Steven Spielberg in as a feature director with "The Sugarland Express" (1974) and "Jaws" (1975, Oscar-nominated as Best Picture). They also produced "The Verdict" (1982, another Best Picture nominee) and "Cocoon" (1985, adding third wife Lili Finn Zanuck to the mix). Dissolving his partnership with Brown in 1988, he formed the Zanuck Company the following year. The first release under his new banner offered an auspicious start. With his wife, Zanuck produced the screen adaptation of Alfred Uhry's award-winning play "Driving Miss Daisy" (1989), which was selected as the year's Best Picture by the Academy. Despite going their separate ways creatively, Brown and Zanuck remained close (Brown served as executive producer on "Miss Daisy"). Indeed, the pair reteamed to produce DreamWorks' blockbuster "Deep Impact" (1998) and they have spoken about working together again on yet another as yet unannounced, untitled DreamWorks' project. Zanuck, who produced his wife's directing debut "Rush" (1991), also shared producing responsibilities with her and Clint Eastwood on Eastwood's "True Crime" (1999).
