. for nearly 20 years starting in the late 1970s, died on May 27 at his home in Vero Beach, Fla. He was 92.
At the time of his retirement in 1999 — after 21 years at the studio and 17 as distribution chief — he exited with an enviable track record. Under his leadership, the studio had 22 films cross the $100 million mark domestically — an impressive milestone since movie tickets were much less expensive back then, and one that’s proven to be challenging to match again in these pandemic times. And Warner Bros.
Reardon was born on March 8, 1931 in Hartford, Conn. He graduated from the College of the Holy Cross in 1953 and earned a degree in economics before being dispatched to Europe to work for Army Intelligence. Reardon returned to the States in 1956 to attend Trinity College and received an MBA in economics. After his first job at United Technologies, he worked for defense contractor Litton Industries in Scranton, Penn.
