•••"We had 140
to 145 actors under contract," he
remembers, "making 55 to 60 features a
year, releasing one a week. We had the
talent right with us. Now we have to go
off the lot for
talent."
•••Producing
films came next, culminating in 1956, when
he worked on 10 features in 24 months. On
loan to CBS, Lyles produced television's
Rawhide, on whose set he got to know one
of the show's young actors &emdash; Clint
Eastwood.
•••"My
God, what a career he's had," Lyles
marvels.
•••Lyles
considered Ronald Reagan and James Cagney
his closest friends. Cagney directed a
single film in his career, Short Cut to
Hell, which he did for no pay, for Lyles,
while Reagan named him to a number of
presidential committees and asked him to
round up Hollywood types to attend White
House
functions.
•••His
association with the Gipper and his
predominantly squeaky clean resumé
make his latest assignment something of a
surprise. Lyles is a producer on HBO's
gritty, profane Western Deadwood, the
brainchild of former NYPD Blue and Hill
Street Blues writer David
Milch.
•••"I
always say I went to the University of
Paramount," he said. "Now I'm in graduate
school with David
Milch."
•••Milch's
detailed research of the period helped
sell him on the project and, when Lyles
describes the show's frontier-town milieu,
you think he might be talking about Old
Hollywood.
•••"It
makes for a great story. The town was the
law of the
lawless."
•••In
what is likely a first and last for
Hollywood, Lyles is perfectly content
being not a director, not a performer, but
a producer.
•••"I
never wanted to act," he said. "Not even a
walk-on in the pictures that I
made."
•••There's
no discussion of retirement,
either.
•••"I
don't know what I'd do," he says. "I guess
I'd come here and wave my friends onto the
lot."
