Full disclosure: Barbara Fox, ex-wife of William Fox III, was a dear friend. She was my first boss at a NYC not-for-profit, and we became friends. Then she was my landlady for a decade when I shared her Townhouse in Manhattan during the 1990's (I had the top floor separate apartment -- and she had the other three floors as a separate house/space). She passed in 2001, but was one of the most amazing individuals I've ever known. I still have her wedding album -- she and Bill were married at the Fox estate in Upstate New York where William T. Fox and his wife still lived. It was quite a "do" with the pre-wedding party starting in Manhattan at the Waldorf, I think. Then attendees were bused in private vehicles to the Estate -- and the wedding was held in the huge private cinema on the grounds of the Estate. The photos of the actual wedding participants were taken in front of the giant blank screen. Amazing stuff! And, of course, there are photos of separate receptions held just for the staff of the Estate.
Barbara always used to say her name as, "Barbara Fox, as in 20th Century...". Alas those days are now going, going, gone.
And yes, I do have stories, all of which I could never ever share!
Perhaps they've missed a trick. They could have rebranded and at the same time placated all the actresses complaining of sexist behavior in the film industry, by getting rid of the male fox and replacing with a female. Thus making it "20th Century Vixen".
