Mr. Jacobi’s first entertainment client was film legend, Veronica Lake. She retained Allen to draft a consultant agreement for the filming of a motion picture about her life. Goldie Hawn had auctioned the property, but Ms. Lake passed shortly thereafter.
Allen’s practice, almost from its inception, included film work representing independent producers and the licensing of music for use in film. Mr. Jacobi acquired and licensed the rights to the underlying literary property for the novel used as the basis for Village of the Damned, which ultimately was produced by Universal Pictures directed by John Carpenter and starring Christopher Reeves and Kirsty Alley. Mr. Jacobi negotiated for the distribution of a motion picture entitled “Stonerville” starring Leslie Nielson (his last film), Pauly Shore and other iconic comedic actors.
