- Richard N. Gladstein was born on June 4, 1961 in Bronx, New York City, New York, USA. He is a producer and actor, known for The Cider House Rules (1999), Finding Neverland (2004) and The Bourne Identity (2002).
- Attended Boston University College of Communications.
- In a 1995 episode of "The Charlie Rose Show" director Quentin Tarantino credits Gladstein with a key part in his breakthrough as a film-maker, quote: "...one of the executive producers of the movie - Richard Gladstein - who was the guy at the company, at Live Entertainment, that like said 'I'm gonna take a chance on this kid,' you know. I really owe my career to him.".
- Started the Bloom's Syndrome Foundation which is dedicated toward medical research on Bloom's Syndrome, an Ashkenazi Jewish genetic disease with which his son was diagnosed in 2004.
- I'm not a hyphenate. It always surprises me when people are shocked that a producer can contribute something special to a film. (2008)
- No matter how good home entertainment systems have become, I just can't see the theater business ever disappearing. There's just something about that communal experience where a group of people sit in a dark room and experience a story together.
- I've always found affection for stories about people and how they choose to live their lives, how they fit into their community.
- When we were doing Pulp Fiction (1994) or Jackie Brown (1997), I just don't remember the level of scrutiny that exists today about the opening weekend performance. Back then you could build a release for a film that was kind of word-of-mouth. You could do a limited unveil and build from there. Now it seems you have a couple weekends and you're done...
- With Quentin, it was always his movie because he's such a powerful writer and director and you were just there to help him along the way; as the producer The Cider House Rules (1999) was a completely different experience for me.
