The very controversial filmmaker and Oscar winner for HEARTS AND MINDS has passed away at the age of 92.
I worked with him on the documentary IN DARKEST HOLLYWOOD: CINEMA AND APARTHEID and.... well, I was warned by my bosses to tread carefully and they were proven right very quickly.
Davis had an unhealthy interest and a total dislike for and in South Africa which at times bordered on the neurotic.
He treated me like dirt yet my bosses informed me that he told them that "Trevor will go far in this business".
He toughened me up at the start of my career and for that and his private opinion of me, 🌹🌹
