Edward was an American businessman and executive best known for being head of production for Universal Pictures from 1953 until his retirement in 1973. According to one writer, he: Played key roles in, some of the studio's most important decisions. Muhl's contributions range from the technical (he was instrumental in persuading studio heads to shoot most of their films in Technicolor rather than the cheaper black-and-white) to the purely business (he made the deal that allowed MCA to purchase Universal in the early '60s).[1] CareerMuhl began his career at Universal in 1927 as a secretary to Carl Laemmle. He worked in a variety of positions for the company, moving into production in 1936. When William Goetz and Leo Spitz's International Pictures merged with Universal in 1947, Muhl was appointed vice president and general manager of studio operations. In 1953, Muhl was appointed general production executive under William Goetz.[2] Later that year he became head of production for the studio, replacing Goetz and Leo Spitz, who had run Universal for seven years.[3][4] Muhl oversaw a period of expansion for Universal.[5] The studio enjoyed a very successful run of films, primarily comedies (notably those starring Doris Day) and melodramas. Muhl kept a very low profile during that time,[6] although the phrase "Edward Muhl In Charge Of Production" appeared on the new Universal logo starting in 1963, a throwback to an industry practice that had largely faded since the 1940s. Also, he was credited with influential support of the films of Douglas Sirk and Ross Hunter, as well as supporting the blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo's right to screenplay credit on Spartacus.[7] Personal LifeMuhl's granddaughter is Taylor Muhl. She's a singer/songwriter known as a public advocate for human Chimerism.[8] DeathMuhl passed away (April 22, 2001) Muhl was 94 years old and his passing took place at his Los Angeles, CA home, surrounded by his family.[7] Select Films Produced Under the Muhl Regime
