American film producer, television producer, and executive producer Charles Fries has left us at the age of 92, on April 21st.
In 1974, he formed Charles Fries Productions, which later became Fries Entertainment. By one estimate, he and his company produced and/or supervised more than 275 hours of telefilms, miniseries and series. After many years of Ziv and Columbia Screen Gems.
He had his greatest impact during the period he described in his autobiography as "the golden days of the television movie" — the 25-year period from 1968-93.
For the big screen, he produced Cat People 1982, directed by Paul Schrader and starring Natassja Kinski, Out of Bounds 1986, starring Anthony Michael Hall, and Screamers 1995 starring Peter Weller.
