When Phillips died from cancer last week at the age of 57, Hollywood lost one of its most scorned pariahs as well as one of the few outrageous personalities left in an increasingly corporate, risk-adverse industry. A film producer who made history as the first woman ever to win a best picture Oscar (for The Sting in 1973), she became downright infamous after her 1991 autobiography...
