Fifty years ago, the late mogul Sid Sheinberg gave the then-20-year-old filmmaker Steven Spielberg his first TV gig, and now Spielberg along with wife Kate Capshaw is repaying the favor with his gift to Human Rights Watch.
Fifty years ago, the mogul — who died four months— gave the novice filmmaker his first gig, and now Spielberg along with wife Kate Capshaw is repaying the favor with his gift to Human Rights Watch.— and 50 years after the MCA mogul gave the 20-year-old filmmaker his first TV gig — the director and wife Kate Capshaw donated $1 million to Sheinberg's favorite cause, Human Rights Watch.
"Sid was empathetic and perceptive, and absolutely committed to human rights for all. He and [his wife] Lorraine charmed and cajoled their incredible network of contacts to help build Human Rights Watch into an international powerhouse. We’re so grateful for having Sid as part of the Human Rights Watch family, and to Kate and Steven for extending Sid’s legacy with this extraordinary gift," HRW executive director Kenneth Roth tells.
