If you don't know his name you probably recognize his face. He's been the president of the Motion Picture Association of America for the past 38 years and truly has been the face of the Oscars. He was a man who had a relationship with both Hollywood and Washington, DC, as he spearheaded legislation to stop the pirating of motion pictures. He was a celebrity and figure head with a lot of influence during his reign. The Roxster sends condolensces to his family and the entertainment community.
