## Caption

On March 29, 1992, legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg sat down with veteran correspondent Ed Bradley for an in-depth and revealing profile on 60 Minutes.

Broadcast as part of Season 24 Episode 29, this segment captures Spielberg at a defining moment in his career. By early 1992, he had already reshaped modern cinema with Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and the Indiana Jones series. Yet this interview presents a grounded and reflective director at the height of his influence.

This rare network television profile includes appearances and commentary from:

• Kate Capshaw, who had recently married Spielberg on October 12, 1991
• Spielberg’s mother, Leah Adler, interviewed inside the family restaurant “The Milky Way.”
• Longtime producing partner Kathleen Kennedy

One of the most historically significant aspects of this segment is the extensive footage inside Spielberg’s offices at Amblin Entertainment. The building, constructed on the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot, was built as a gift by MCA chairman Lew Wasserman at a reported cost of $ 4 million.

Within the interview, Ed Bradley explores:

• Spielberg’s childhood filmmaking experiments
• His early drive to break into Hollywood
• The pressures of blockbuster filmmaking
• How Jaws permanently changed the industry
• E.T. Adventure ride at Universal Studios Theme Parks and Resorts
• The balance between commercial success and artistic credibility
• His continued nervousness before filming despite worldwide acclaim

The profile captures Spielberg just before 1993, when Jurassic Park and Schindler’s List would redefine his legacy. It stands as a time capsule of early-1990s Hollywood, prime-time television journalism, and the peak era of network news magazine storytelling.

For film historians, Universal Studios enthusiasts, backlot history researchers, and fans of classic television journalism, this is essential viewing.

Preserving broadcast history matters. Moments like this document the creative forces that shaped modern entertainment.
