Barry Diller’s Search for the Future (1993)
When Barry Diller, the former chairman of Fox, Inc., speaks of his Apple PowerBook, a laptop computer, he grows rhapsodic. In fact, the search began in the fall of 1991, several months after Diller and Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corporation owns Fox, met to discuss Diller’s future. After being head of prime-time television for ABC Entertainment in the early seventies, and chief of Paramount Pictures for ten years–into the first half of the eighties–and then guiding Fox into the nineties, Diller told Murdoch that he wanted to be a principal, not just a well-paid employee.
