1962 Onward
From the Pentagon to Hollywood Boulevard — a master of media in the golden age of entertainment.
After retiring as a full colonel, Oldfield brought his mastery of media to the entertainment world. As press agent and publicist, he worked with some of the era's most luminous names — drawing on a military career spent crafting narrative under pressure.
The swashbuckling star of the silver screen — Oldfield navigated Flynn's formidable public persona with the same precision he once applied to wartime communiqués.
Long before the presidency, Oldfield worked with Reagan when he was still a Hollywood actor — a relationship that would take on new historical weight in the decades that followed.
Among the most photographed women in the world, Taylor's public image was managed in part through Oldfield's consummate skill as publicist and press strategist.
Alongside his entertainment work, Oldfield served as Director of International Relations for Litton Industries — a major Southern California defense company. He handled public and global communications at the intersection of corporate power, government, and international affairs, bringing his dual expertise in media and military culture to bear in the boardroom.
