George Schaefer (film producer)

George Schaefer (November 5, 1888 – August 8, 1981) was a movie producer and once the president of RKO in 1941 when Orson Wells made his classic film "Citizen Kane". Schaefer, a top executive at United Artists, was hired as president of RKO in 1938. He was fired from RKO in 1942 because of the controversy surrounding it and Wells' second film "The Magnificent Ambersons".

Schaefer was played by Roy Scheider in a TV movie of the events surrounding the "Citizen Kane" controversy.
