Frederick Woodruff "Ted" Field (born June 1, 1953[2]) is an American media mogul, record executive, entrepreneur and film producer.
Field's mother and Larry Fanning purchased the Anchorage Daily News from founder Norman C. Brown in 1967.
Field also funded Ongais to make occasional Formula One outings in a Penske during the 1977 season.
Field also backed the construction in 1980 of an Interscope chassis designed by Roman Slobodynskyj for the Indianapolis 500.
[7] As a result, Interscope Communications, October Films and Gramercy Pictures were sold off to Barry Diller, who owned HSN, which in turn, had a major stake in USA Networks.
[19] Field and Radar Pictures have faced legal action in years between 2007 and 2019 over allegations of fraudulent misconduct.
[20][21][22][23] In December 2016, Field and his company assigned profits from then-upcoming Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017), to Filmula Entertainment, to satisfy a breach-of-contract over the unsuccessful reboot of Trauma Records.
From 1986 through 1993, Field owned the Harold Lloyd Estate (also known as Green Acres) in Beverly Hills, California.
