"Spider-Man" producer Laura Ziskin died Sunday evening. She was 61 and had been battling breast cancer for 7 years. Ziskin was perhaps best known for her work on the "Spider-Man" franchise, which brought in over $1.5 billion worldwide, making her one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood. Ziskin produced the Academy Awards telecast two times, becoming the first won to produce the awards show solo in 2002 and earning multiple Emmy awards in the process. Though she struggled with cancer since receiving a Stage 3 diagnosis in 2004, Ziskin remained indefatigable, overseeing one.
Sally marsh and Jon Lindsay send their heart felt best wishes to the Ziskin family at this difficult time. We worked with Laura on 4 occasions and found her to be a warm and helpul professional who was available to assist and offer her expert advice.
