  • The Light Gate Episode #069: Stephen Simon (What Dreams May Come)

    The Light Gate Episode #069: Stephen Simon (What Dreams May Come)
    Apr 12 2026
    Tonight the Light Gate is delighted to welcome the amazing Stephen Simon. Stephen Simon produced such acclaimed projects as the Academy-Award winning, What Dreams May Come (starring Robin Williams and Cuba Gooding Jr.) Somewhere in Time (Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour,) and All The Right Moves (Tom Cruise.)

    Stephen was also co-executive producer on fan favorites Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, and Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey (Keanu Reeves); produced She’s Out of Control (Tony Danza), executive produced Body of Evidence (Madonna), produced the first original film to premiere on the Internet (Quantum Project) in 2001, starring John Cleese and Stephen Dorff, was an executive producer on Linda McCartney for CBS Television, and was nominated for an Emmy Award as one of the executive producers of Homeless to Harvard for Lifetime Television. Stephen was also the head of production of the film companies owned by legendary Hollywood producers Ray Stark (Funny Girl, The Goodbye Girl, The Way We Were) and Dino De Laurentiis (Serpico, La Strada, 3 Days of The Condor). As an executive, Stephen supervised the production of films such as Smokey and The Bandit and The Electric Horseman. Stephen also directed and produced both Indigo and the film version of Conversations with God. In 2004, Stephen co-founded The Spiritual Cinema Circle, a monthly DVD distribution service that became an international success for 16 years.

    Stephen’s first book, The Force is With You, was published by Hampton Roads in 2002, his second book, Bringing Back The Old Hollywood, was published in 2011, and he co-wrote What Dreams Have Come, Loving Through the Veil, published in 2020. Stephen was born into a successful Hollywood family. His father, S. Sylvan Simon, was a producer/director who made films with stars such as Abbott and Costello, Lana Turner, and Red Skelton; and worked as both a producer and an executive at Columbia Pictures under the legendary Harry Cohn, producing films such as Born Yesterday, the 1950 film that garnered a Best Actress Oscar for star Judy Holliday.

    When Sylvan Simon died in 1951, Frank Sinatra became Stephen’s “godfather” and Stephen’s mother Harriet married Armand Deutsch, a film producer at MGM who produced films with stars such as Robert Taylor, James Stewart, and Grace Kelly. Armand Deutsch adopted Stephen, changing Stephen’s last name to Deutsch. In 1996, Stephen legally changed his name back to Simon. Stephen earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree from UCLA in 1971 and a Law Degree from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles in 1974. After being admitted to the California Bar in 1974, he practiced law briefly before entering the film industry in 1976.

    Stephen is one of the most amazing guests we've ever had on The Light Gate. I'm sure you will be amazed by his very profound stories.
