. In those days we always carried a couple of [fly tying|fly rods] in the trunk. We had a glorious day on the river. Just before twilight, as blackness inched its way onto the water, Richard called out to me, \"Schnookie, let's go, we're gonna be late to [dailies]\". As I hopped gingerly from stone to stone, crossing the river, I suddenly heard this tremendous splash behind me. Richard had slipped on a mossy rock and landed head first in the \"Stilly\". I hauled him out and we hurried to the car.\r\n\r\n –\"We need to get you to the hotel and dry you off\".\r\n –\"No. No, there's no time. We need to drive all the way down to [Excerpts from a letter to President Pierce from Chief Seattle|Seattle]. We have to get to dailies. We can't be late\".\r\n\r\nRichard had a deal that he only had to go to dailies on the first screening of a new set.\r\n\r\nWe walked in the door of the darkened screening room with seconds to spare and blindly slipped into our seats in the dark–Richard hemorrhaging river water from his pockets and Docksider [How to tie your shoes|shoes].\r\n\r\nWhen the lights went up we discovered our director, [The Postman Always Rings Twice|Graeme Clifford], sitting directly in front of us. He turned to Richard to comment on the film.\r\n\r\n –Graeme: \"What in the F...? What happened to you?\" \r\n –Richard: \"Got caught in a downpour\", was Richard's deadpan reply. \r\n –Graeme: \"Oh is it raining?\r\n –Richard: Nope, not anymore...it stopped\".\r\n –Graeme: (Looking at me suspiciously) \"how come you're not wet?\" \r\n –Me: \"Oh, ummm...I had an [umbrella], and I stayed in the car\".\r\n\r\nWe never got caught!\r\n\r\nJust before Richard died, I shared this story with Graeme, who called from a movie set in [Canada]. He told me he wished he had known back then, so he could have ribbed Dick about it down the years.\r\n\r\nIn July of 2002, I produced a memorial tribute to celebrate the life of Richard. Listening to some of the memories and [By way of a eulogy|eulogies] I was reminded of how many people he had \"put on the map\", or as he used to say, \"I invented him\". When we had the occasion to meet [Günter Grass] for the first time, he thanked Richard for helping to put his novel [Waffen-SS|The Tin Drum ]at the top of The New York Times best sellers list. Richard said to him, \"I didn't design The Tin Drum, and [Waffen-SS|Günter] replied, \"No but you placed it in the book case behind [Elizabeth Taylor] and [Richard Burton] in Who's Afraid of [Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding, O Death!|Virgina Woolf?] and everybody wanted to see what they were reading!\"\r\n\r\nHe also taught [Anne Rice] how to write a screenplay. In her eulogy she said, \"When I think of Dick Sylbert, what stays with me more deeply and meaningfully is my first year of knowing him in 1976 when he changed the direction of my life by purchasing for Paramount Pictures the film rights to my first novel, [Interview With The Vampire|Interview with the Vampire.] Dick was head of Paramount at the time and news of the movie sale catapulted my book from first-novel obscurity to overnight sensation. It was an unbelievable break. Dick endorsed an eccentric and bizarre book in infallible American fashion\".\r\n\r\nRichard also bought the film rights to Norman Maclean's [A River Runs through It], but sadly was not able to get Paramount to make it. The only other regret in his artistic life was that he never designed a western.\r\n\r\nMany of Dick's friends were shocked to hear of his death and have asked me about his last days, last hours, last moments.\r\n\r\nIn September, six months before he succumbed to cancer, I had to ring him to tell him of the death of his dear friend Joan Axelrod. His first thought was for George.\r\n\r\n –\"I'd better call George, he must be devastated\". About thirty minutes later he rang me and said, Momma, do you know how Joan died? She died in George's arms. That's how I want to go.\"\r\n\r\n –\"You want to die in [The Seven Year Itch|George Axelrod's] arms? Man are you weird!\"\r\n –\"No, you know what I mean!\"\r\n\r\nAt that time I still believed Richard would beat the cancer as he had 11 years earlier. At this point Richard had been in and out of the hospital since the previous March. He went in for the final time through the emergency room on Christmas Day 2001. I sat there, in the ambulance with him, holding his hand, and he said, \"I'm sorry I screwed up your [Christmas]\". \"Are you kidding you have given me one of the greatest gifts ever! The knowledge of how much we truly mean to one another. And how much we mean to each other as a family\". In February just before [Valentine's Day] we were very fortunate to be able to move him to the Motion Picture Country Home, in Woodland Hills. They allowed me to move in to be with him, and later [Daisy] joined us for sleepovers.\r\n\r\nDick didn't want anyone to know he was ill because he was afraid he wouldn't get that next job. In March when I realised he had only a few days left, we began to call his old pals. [sculptor|Jack Zajac] called and I heard Dick say, \"I never thought it would go so quickly. Do you realise there are rivers we've never investigated? [Kilgore Trout| Trout] streams we've never rippled? Fish we never even thought of catching?\"\r\n\r\nA little while later he said he would like to be cremated and have his ashes scattered on the [Somewhere Down the Crazy River|Stillaguamish], his beloved Stilly, the river that runs behind our fishing lodge in Washington [Native American|near my own family's ancestral hunting grounds.] It was the first we had talked of such things.\r\n\r\n –I said, \"All of them?\"\r\n –He said: \"Yeah, why, what didja have in mind?\"\r\n –\"Well I always thought we'd rest side side by side somewhere, someday\". \r\nAnd he smiled that Kukla, Fran, and Ollie smile and said, \"Well, keep some for yourself then!\"\r\n\r\nAaron Shikler and [Caricature|David Levine] and Roy Davis, from their Stella Elkins Tyler School of Fine Arts days at [Temple University], called. Hawk Koch came to visit and contacted [Mike Nichols], and John Calley, and [Dick Donner] and [Roman Polanski], whose last words to his old pal were, \"I love you Deek\". They rang from distant locations, from foreign shores. [John Frankenheimer] and the Benjamins, [Portnoy's Complaint|Dick] and [Paula Prentiss|Paula], came to say goodbye. John, who was living with his own cancer at the time watched his friend slip into a coma. Paula, who held and stroked his hand for hours, begging, \"Dickie, please open your eyes, it's me Paula\". Marshall Bell and [costume designer|Milena Canonero] came to offer support. Two of his 5 living children came, our daughter Daisy had moved into our room. On the last Thursday, he held his final script conference with [Muriel's Wedding|P.J. Hogan and Jocelyn Moorhouse] for [http://everything2.com/user/brookedoln/writeups/Peter+Pan|Peter Pan.]\r\n\r\nOn the evening of Saturday, March 23, during the last half hour of his life, with friends and family gathered round, I got up onto the bed with him and cradled him in my arms, I placed my lips next to his ear, and whispered the names of every river I could recall, every trout stream, every salmon pool, from the Snake to the Thames and beyond. The Skagit, the Klamath, the Stillaguamish, the Sauk, The Okanogan, the Tonasket, the North Fork, the Rogue, the Wenatchee, the Kern, the Hooka in New Zealand, the Columbia, Catherine's Pool, Bagma, the Lodge, and Strother in Northumberland, the Tyne and the Tay, the Tweed and the Dee, the Grande Ronde, the Nile, and when I got to the river Styxx his heart stopped beating. He went by the river. Aho mitakuye oyasin... He went by the river.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFilmography:\r\n\r\n* [Hamlet] (1953) (TV)\r\n* [Richard II] (1954) (TV)\r\n* [Elia Kazan|Baby Doll] (1956)\r\n* [Rod Serling|Patterns] (1956)\r\n* [I look for your face in every crowd|A Face in the Crowd] (1957)\r\n ... aka \"B[On the Waterfront|udd Schulberg's ]A Face in the Crowd\" - USA (complete title)\r\n* [Hume Cronyn|Crowded Paradise] (1956)\r\n* [Sidney Poitier|Edge of the City] (1957)\r\n* [Nicholas Ray|Wind Across the Everglades] (1958) \r\n* [Peter Falk|Murder, Inc.] (1960)\r\n* [Tennessee Williams|The Fugitive Kind](1960)\r\n* The Young Doctors (1961)\r\n* [Splendor in the Grass] (1961)\r\n* Mad Dog Coll (1961)\r\n* [brothel|Walk on the Wild Side] (1962)\r\n* [Long Day's Journey Into Night] (1962)\r\n* [The Connection] (1962)\r\n* [The Manchurian Candidate] (1962)\r\n* [Jean Simmons|All the Way Home] (1963)\r\n* [Rod Steiger|The Pawnbroker] (1964)\r\n* [Jean Seberg|Lilith] (1964)\r\n* [Jack Lemmon|How to Murder Your Wife] (1965)\r\n* [What's new, pussycat?|What's New Pussycat] (1965) (associate producer)\r\n* [Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?] (1966) √\r\n ... aka \"[Edward Albee]'s Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?\" - USA (complete title)\r\n* [Grand Prix] (1966)\r\n* [The Graduate] (1967)\r\n* [Rosemary's Baby] (1968)\r\n* [Catherine Deneuve|The April Fools] (1969)\r\n* [Catch-22 ](1970) \r\n* [For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge|Carnal Knowledge] (1971)\r\n* [John Huston|Fat City] (1972)\r\n* [Nichols & May|The Heartbreak Kid] (1972)\r\n ... aka \"Neil Simon's The Heartbreak Kid\" - USA (complete title)\r\n* [The Day of the Dolphin] (1973)\r\n* [Chinatown] (1974) ≠ †\r\n* [Hal Ashby|Shampoo] (1975) ≠\r\n* [Heist|Last Hours Before Morning] (1975) (TV)\r\n* [Rizzo|The Fortune] (1975)\r\n* Partners (1976)\r\n* [tennis|Players] (1979)\r\n* [John Reed|Reds] (1981) ≠\r\n* [John Hurt|Partners] (1982/I) \r\n* [Mariel Hemingway|Personal Best] (1982)(replaced Ron Hobbs)\r\n* [Cheers|\"Cheers\"] (Designed permanent set)≈\r\n - Give Me a Ring Sometime (1982) TV Pilot\r\n* [Frances Farmer|Frances] (1982)\r\n* [A bout de souffle|Breathless] (1983)\r\n* [Cotton Club|The Cotton Club] (1984) ≠ \r\n* [Prince|Under the Cherry Moon] (1986)\r\n* [Don Johnson|Heartbeat] (1987) (V) \r\n* [Jean Charles de Menezes|Shoot to Kill] (1988) \r\n* [Tequila Sunrise] (1988)\r\n* [Dick Tracy] (1990)√ ∆\r\n* [The Bonfire of the Vanities] (1990)\r\n ... aka \"Deadly Pursuit\" - International (English title), UK\r\n* [The Sopranos|Mobsters] (1991)\r\n* [Andie MacDowell|Ruby Cairo] (1993)\r\n ... aka \"Deception\" - USA (video title (recut version)\r\n* [Carlito's Way] (1993)\r\n* [Nevada Test Site|Mulholland Falls] (1996)\r\n* [Michael Caine|Blood and Wine] (1996)\r\n* [My Best Man's speech, at my best friend's wedding|My Best Friend's Wedding] (1997)\r\n ... aka \"Best Friend's Wedding\" - Japan (English title)\r\n* [Free Tibet|Red Corner] (1997)\r\n* [Kathy Bates|Unconditional Love] (2002)\r\n ...Who Shot Victor Fox?\r\n* [Charlize Theron|Trapped] (2002)\r\n ... aka \"Call\" - Japan (English title)\r\n ...24 Hours (USA)\r\n\r\n \r\n \r\n ≠ [Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences] Award Nominations [Posthumous Oscar|(Oscar)]\r\n √ Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Award (Oscar) won\r\n† British Academy Film and Television Arts nomination (BAFTA)\r\n∆ British Academy Film and Television Arts nomination (BAFTA)won\r\n≈Emmy nomination\r\n\r\nIn October of 2002 (7 months after his death), Richard was to have been presented with a lifetime achievement award from the Hollywood [Film Festival].
