Paul, who died in 2006 at the age of 81, was a business affairs executive and attorney at Universal Television and its predecessors for more than 50 years. Prior to that, Paul worked at Paramount Studios, George Burns Productions and MCA Artists. Paul was one of the early members of the Los Angeles Copyright Society and was active in L.A.C.S. until his passing.
