Historical NoteReturn to Top

Richard de Rochemont (1903-1982) was a motion picture producer and director during the twentieth century. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, and educated at Harvard University, De Rochemont started his motion picture career as a foreign editor for Fox-Movietone News (1930-1934). He joined Time Incorporated's March of Time film series, produced by Richard's brother Louis De Rochemont, in 1934 and enjoyed a notable career with this newsreel series, serving as European correspondent and managing director (1934-1940), managing director in New York City (1940-1943), and executive producer (1943-1951). As executive producer, he won an Academy Award for his production of the March of Time film "A Chance to Live" (1949). In 1955, De Rochemont founded his own film production company, Vavin Incorporated, and produced instructional films for a number of organizations between the mid 1950s and early 1980s, including the Reader's Digest Association and the French Government Tourist Office. In addition to his work in the film industry, De Rochemont was the author of several cookbooks, including Contemporary French Cooking (1962), The Pets' Cookbook (1964), and Eating in America (1976).
