Dick Richards (born 1936) is an American film director, producer and writer.
After working as a photographer, Richards went on to direct commercials. His career in film began by writing and directing a western, The Culpepper Cattle Co. (1972), and continued with such films as Farewell, My Lovely (1975), March or Die (1977), and Man, Woman and Child (1983).[1]
He helped start Jerry Bruckheimer's career by hiring him as associate producer on The Culpepper Cattle Company.[2]
Though initially considered to direct Tootsie (1982), complications arose with the script, and he assumed the role of producer instead, for which he received an Academy Award nomination.
