My production of The Pictorial Kennedy, the campus-wide
exhibit in honor of President Kennedy that was shown at the
University of Arizona in 1965, was the catalyst that sent me to
New York City where I worked for one of the best promotion
houses in the country. From there I landed a job with NBC in
Burbank where I produced on-air promotion and worked with all
of the greats including Elvis Presley, Bobby Kennedy, Bob
Hope, Dean Martin, and others.
I left NBC to join the Wolper Organization, which was famous for
producing the epic television mini-series, Roots. At Wolper I
worked with David Seltzer who wrote The Omen and Alan
Landsburg who became a top television producer. From Wolper
I went to the Hollywood Reporter where I worked for the
publisher, Tichi Wilkerson (her husband founded the paper and
discovered Lana Turner). I was the Special Editions Editor and
produced the special issue on the French film industry.
I left The Reporter to become a full-time writer and have been
writing scripts ever since. In the Sixties I was married and
divorced (no children) and in the Seventies I founded a religious
community called Apostles of Christ. You can read about us at

current name A.J. Buttacavoli. I am rarely called Gus these
days. Currently, I am reading scripts for an agent in Hollywood
who also represents me as a writer.
