Robert Fox, a prominent Broadway and West End producer, has passed away at the age of 73. Fox rose from being a film studio runner to assisting directors at London's Royal Court in the early 1970s, rising to the highest level of theater production. His work included presenting Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Helen Mirren and Vanessa Redgrave in new plays and classics. His production of Peter Morgan's West End and Broadway hit The Audience was the inspiration for what would become the Netflix drama The Crown. Fox was himself a product of stage and screen royalty, having brothers Edward Fox and James Fox. He was also uncle to several Fox thespians.
