Gene never lost his love of the movies and especially the movies of the 1950’s. My favorite photo of Genewas taken lastyearata3DFilmFestival inHollywood.Wewereata screeningofUniversal’s1950’s classic Wings of The Hawk and Gene pretty much levitated off the ground because of a personal appearance by star Julia Adams,who kindlymet and signed autographs for anyonewhowantedtomeether.Foranyonewhoreallyknewhim,thelookonhisfaceispureGene.

Robert Wales Senior Director, Filmed Entertainment Landmark Cinemas Canada

Eugene Amodeo was so identified as the face of Universal Films Canada for so many years thatpeopleforgetabouthisearliercareersintheindustry.HisfirstmovieexperienceseeingWaltDisney’s“Cinderella”atage6startedalife-longloveandpassionforthemovies.HisdeterminationtogetintothebusinessinanywaypossibleledhimtohisfirstjobintheFamousPlayers’AuditDept,laterjoiningParamount Pictures as an accounting assistant before moving on to National General Pictures where hefinallygothischancetobecomeabooker.GenelatermovedtoAstralFilms,whereherosetoSalesManagerbeforethefatefulcallfromUniversalPicturesin1980.

Gene didn’t just love the business; he also loved the people in our business. Many of his closest friends were from the industry; some as travel companions, some as poker buddies and some as just plain friends. His heart of goldmeant he could always be counted on for 100% supportwhenever thePioneersapproachedhim(andUniversalFilms).(WhileUniversalalwayssupportedthePioneerGolfTournament,thereisnoexistingrecordthatGeneeverplayedgolfwithus.)
