Regarding Adam Fields, I don't know. Karen had a large family but I only really knew her and her brother Todd Fields -- I was good friends with her cousin, Wendy. I never met Susan but I did know Riley Ellis from that office (who didn't back then) as well as a very young Nina Jacobson.
So many connections went through Joel Silver back then. My boss was good friends with Larry Gordon who would stop by often to say hi because his shrink was also in our building. He's the one that told me to slam two big titles together for a pitch -- he said he sold Predator as "Rambo meets Alien" and Die Hard as "Rambo meets Towering Inferno". They really liked Rambo.
I never asked how Joel sold Xanadu.
All this talk takes me back. It's so funny that we traveled much of the same turf I think, although I'm envious that I never worked with Cameron, only met him a few times casually. A good friend of mine worked at Digital Domain for many years.
