Legend has it that Steven Spielberg named the mechanical shark in his 1975 blockbuster “Jaws” “Bruce” in honor of Ramer, which is rather unfair given its propensity for breaking down behind the scenes. In real life, he is more like the shark as portrayed onscreen: an unstoppable force. He remains Spielberg’s lawyer to this day, and his loyal stable of clients also includes Clint Eastwood, Robert Zemeckis, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, David O. Russell, Richard Curtis and Ted Melfi. A USC trustee, he chairs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and sits on the boards of the Peabody Awards, the Center for the Digital Future, the Southern California Committee for the Olympic Games and the National Archives Foundation.
