The building that housed Global Studios in Century City was
impressive, but going in through the private entrance to the office of
the head of the studio, the CEO of Global, was like entering another
universe. Or boarding a rocket ship to the moon. A security guard stood at
the discreetly set-apart elevator to escort VIPs and use his badge on the
inside security panel to give them access to Andy Westfield’s office on the
forty-fourth floor. No one could reach the CEO’s private quarters on the top
floor without an invitation. Visitors were checked carefully at the main
desk, their IDs examined, their fingerprints and photographs taken, their
names verified with the reception desk upstairs. By the time they reached
the elevator, they had been thoroughly vetted. No attack had ever been
attempted on the CEO at Global, but it had happened to other heads of
studios, and security measures were particularly acute and high-tech
surrounding Andy.
The private elevator shot up at high speed without a stop. Visitors then
found themselves at another reception desk, where they were expected and
warmly greeted. The reception area was beautifully decorated with leather
couches and priceless contemporary art, and visitors rarely had long to wait.
The doors opened automatically into a small anteroom with paintings from
Andy’s personal collection, and fourteen-foot red lacquered doors led into
the inner sanctum where Andy sat in peaceful splendor at an enormous
mahogany and steel desk with a view of all of Los Angeles. A long wall to
his right spoke of his own history.
There was a row of posters of his
parents’ famous movies. He was the only son of two of Hollywood’s
beloved legends. His father, the most famous cowboy who had ever lived in
films, John Westfield, originally from Montana, had come to Hollywood at
eighteen to be an actor, and was a cowboy to his very core. After thirty
years as an actor, he fell in love with directing and became one of the great
directors of iconic Westerns. He had won four Oscars as an actor and
collected three more as a director. He was a man of strong principles and
values, which came across to the audience on film. He had set a powerful
example for Andy, and been an admirable husband and father.
Tall, rugged,
and handsome, he was the hero men respected, little boys wanted to be
when they grew up, and women dreamed about. His wife, Andy’s mother,
Eva Lundquist, originally from Sweden, was one of the most glamorous
stars in Hollywood in her day. She and John were an unlikely, spectacular,
and successful pair. She had two Oscars to her credit as well, and retired
young to marry John and have Andy. They had been the most loved couple
in Hollywood history, and were a strong role model to their son
