    		His short film, "Amblin'" (1969) impressed executives at the television unit of Universal Studios and Spielberg was hired, making his debut directing the formidable Joan Crawford in the TV-movie pilot for Rod Serling's "Night Gallery" (NBC, 1969)

    		I don't know if this guy is a "mogul," but Wikipedia says Spielberg presented "Amblin" to Sid Sheinberg, then the vice-president of production for Universal's TV arm.
