Jennings Lang (May 28, 1915, New York City – May 29, 1996, Palm Desert, California) was an American film producer, as well as a screenwriter and actor.
Lang was born to a Jewish family in New York City, New York. Originally a lawyer, from New York City, he came to Hollywood in 1938 and set up an office as a talent agent. In 1940 he joined the Jaffe agency and within a few years became the company's president, and came to be known as one of Hollywood's leading agents.
In 1950 he joined the MCA talent agency and two years later became vice president of MCA TV Limited; in this capacity, he worked with MCA's subsidiary Revue Productions involved in developing, creating, and selling new series in the 1950s and '60s, such as Wagon Train, The Bob Cummings Show, and McHale's Navy.
In 1951, Lang was shot in the left inner thigh and groin by film producer Walter Wanger, who believed Lang was having an affair with his wife, actress Joan Bennett. The following is extracted from the book On Sunset Boulevard (1998, p. 431) by Ed Sikov:

John Towner Williams (born February 8, 1932) is an American composer, conductor, and pianist. In a career spanning over six decades, Williams has composed some of the most popular and recognizable film scores in cinematic history, including Jaws, the Star Wars series, Superman, the Indiana Jones series, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, and the first three Harry Potter films. He has been associated with director Steven Spielberg since 1974, composing music for all save five of Spielberg's feature films.
Other notable works by Williams include theme music for four Olympic Games, NBC Sunday Night Football, the 2011 Tintin movie, the television series Lost in Space and Land of the Giants, and the original, not-as-well-known, calypso-based theme song to Gilligan's Island. He has composed numerous classical concerti and other works for orchestral ensembles and solo instruments, and he served as the Boston Pops' principal conductor (1980–93), and is now the orchestra's laureate conductor.

A tribute to Jennings Lang, Monica Lewis, Mark Robson, Philip H. Lathrop, John Williams, Dorothy Spencer, Waldon Watson, Clifford Stine, Albert Whitlock, and all the incredible cast who made possible "EARTHQUAKE"
Produced by Jennings Lang. Directed by James Goldstone. Music Composed & Conducted by John Addison.
Author and Rocky Lang talks about his father, Jennings Lang, the mega-producer of Earthquake and the Airport movies. From his book, Growing Up Hollywood - Tales from the Son of a Hollywood Mogul.
A-listers Mark Robson, Jennings Lang and Mario Puzo (!) steal a leaf (and more) from the Irwin Allen playbook with this turgid smash hit about a devastating LA temblor which painstakingly copies stunt shots from The Poseidon Adventure. If not for the sternum-rattling sound effects of Sensurround, an alarming audio process that duplicates the trembling sensation of theater walls coming down around your ears, this prototypical '70s disaster epic would be remembered only as an archaic soap opera that would have seemed risible in 1954, let alone '74. Clifford Stine and Albert Whitlock were among the team of visual effects masters who helped level Los Angeles in such convincing fashion. http://www.trailersfromhell.com

Syfy Channel's Ben Hansen from "Fact or Faked" analyzes former President Bill Clinton's interview on Jimmy Kimmel on April 2, 2014. Kimmel asked Clinton questions about his efforts to look into UFO files. Did Clinton find anything in the files? Did he know more than he was telling? Would he tell the public if he knew we had been visited? Hansen uses non-verbal communication techniques to give a systematic breakdown of the entire interview segment on the UFO/alien subject. If you watch to the end, you may be surprised at what is discovered.
A fascinating interview with Krystian Zimerman.
