His other credits include 'Kansas City Bomber' with Raquel Welch, 'The Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox' with George Segal and Goldie Hawn, and 'The Mirror Crack’d' with Angela Lansbury, Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and Kim Novak.

He was also executive producer of the 2016 film 'Genius,' which starred Colin Firth and Jude Law and was adapted from his biography of legendary literary editor Maxwell Perkins.
Harry Hamlin starred in the acclaimed TV series of the 1980s and 90s, 'L.A. Law,' for which he earned three Golden Globe nominations.
