- Before becoming a producer, Bobby was involved in the film business in the fields of production financing and completion bond guarantees.
- Before entering the film business, Bobby was an attorney engaged in private practice in New York City. Some of his legal practice involved representation for producers and film studios.
- Bobby's wife, Judy, has been a teacher or guidance counselor in the New York City public school system for more than fifty years.
- Before moving back to Manhattan in the late 1970s, Bobby, his wife Judy, and son James (Jimmy) lived in Far Rockaway, Queens for almost twenty years.
- Decided to withdraw from most film production when film budgets routinely exceeded $10 million, and budgets under that amount were becoming increasingly rare. The fiasco of Heaven's Gate (1980) (which he was not involved in) was a factor in his thinking.
