How to nail the career of A. C. Lyles?

Where to begin with a man who recently celebrated his 77th year with Paramount?

That is right - 77 years! From office boy through publicity to producer, A. C. Lyles has covered all the bases.

Drop a Paramount name, go back, all the way. To the start of talking pictures. Gary Cooper, Bing Crosby, Clara Bow, William Wyler, DeMille, Bob Hope, Claudette Colbert.

Drop a Paramount name from the war years, the post-war years, Alan Ladd, William Holden, George Stevens, Frank Capra

James Cagney? Spencer Tracy? Shirley Temple? Dana Andrews? Dorothy Lamour? John Wayne? Of course.

Clint Eastwood? Natch. In fact, Lyles knew Eastwood before he was Eastwood. Lyles exec-produced the TV series, Rawhide.

Ian McShane, of Deadwood? Well, since A. C. Lyles was script consultant on the HBO series, of course.

And, most moving of all his compatriots, his six decade friendship with Ronald Reagan.

Yet, beyond his unique and extraordinary career, there is another A. C. Lyles. There is A. C. Lyles the man. The very personification of the word, gentleman.

A. C. Lyles, a gentle … man.
