- In his memoir, he describes how Jim Belushi trashed his office on the Paramount lot because Feldman was producing Wired (1989), the story of his brother John Belushi's fatal descent into drugs. Belushi told Feldman's secretary, "You just tell him who did this." The secretary replied, "I would. But I don't know who you are, sir".
- Left Fox to join Paramount Pictures to promote The World of Suzie Wong (1960) for producer Ray Stark.
- After college he was hired by 20th Century-Fox to serve as a writer in its press book department, where he became the studio's contact for fan magazines, trade papers and the New York media.
- Graduated from Michigan State University.
- Served in the US Air Force for two years.
- The one thing the business lacks now is courtesy. As a producer, you're always ready and you're always expecting to get blitzed by someone; they don't like you or don't like the script you have. But in the old days at least we had a common respect for each other for having the chutzpah for doing it.
- Working at the Studio in the 1950s: I'll tell you the one great thing about FOX in those days, they'd never pay much money, but you could put in for all the expenses you had. I'd get a small paycheck each week then charge another two-hundred dollars in expenses. It was great! I'll tell you one more story on that topic. All of us working there made so little money that we'd go to the FOX music division, take the soundtrack albums, for, lets say the movie A Farewell to Arms (1957), and we'd go down to the department store and trade them in for shirts and underwear.
