25 Movie Talents We Lost In 2016

Australian-born impresario Robert Stigwood might be better known for his career in the British music industry managing bands like Cream and the Bee Gees, but after moving into film in the early 1970s he worked as producer on a number of classic movies.

Musical movies were his forte: starting with Jesus Christ Superstar in 1973 he went on to work on films including Tommy, Bugsy Malone, Saturday Night Fever and Grease, while his most recent producer role was in the award-winning, Madonna-fronted Evita in 1996.

Under his record label RSO Records, Stigwood also released the soundtracks of both Grease and Saturday Night Fever alongside other movie soundtracks including The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and Fame.
