    In the debut episode of Hollywood Insiders, veteran producer and former Academy president Hawk Koch reflects on the stars, movies, and unforgettable moments that shaped his extraordinary six-decade career. From growing up on movie sets with his father — legendary producer Howard W.

    Hawk also takes listeners behind the scenes of films like Chinatown, Heaven Can Wait, and more, revealing how those productions came together and the relationships that made them possible. He reflects on the lessons, setbacks and "magic moments" that kept him in love with filmmaking for more than 60 years.
