Timeline

1981

When Fox was sold to Marvin Davis in June 1981, stockholders received over $800 million in cash and stock. Stanfill cashed in stock options worth $8 million. Later in 1981, Stanfill tried to fire 20th Century Fox Television head Harris L. Katleman for an irregular $2,500 purchase submitted on his expense account (while overseas at an industry event), but the decision was overturned by new Fox owner Davis. With his authority undermined, Stanfill walked away from his 12 years with the studio, citing “a matter of business ethics.”

After leaving Fox in 1981 Stanfill, who was already on the Board of Directors of KCET, Los Angeles public television affiliate station, was asked to take the non-salaried position of Chairman. KCET was in considerable financial difficulty. The station had over-spent and over-expanded. Stanfill's reputation in the financial world gave KCET much needed breathing room with its creditors. Stanfill cut staff, got the other expenses under control and went on a fundraising drive. KCET moved to put its Hollywood production facility and offices up for sale while the station's top executives took a 10% cut in salary. When Stanfill accepted his position in 1982, the station was $5.5 million in debt. By the time he stepped down in 1986 KCET was in the black and in active production in both local and national programing.

1970

During his tenure at Fox, the studio was turned around from near bankruptcy, partly as a result of the extravagant prior managements. Under Stanfill’s guidance, Fox became a diversified, prosperous company largely through internal development and acquisition activities. The market value of Fox’s common stock in the early 1970s was approximately $40 million; its 1980 sales were $865 million with after-tax profits of $55 million. Stanfill was alleged to have said during his time that "I like power. I am 20th Century Fox."

1969

He joined Fox in 1969 in the newly created post of executive Vice President-finance, and at the same time became a member of Fox’s board of directors and executive committee. In 1971, he succeeded Darryl F. Zanuck as chairman and chief executive officer.
