Pancho Kohner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Julius "Pancho" Kohner (born January 7, 1939 in Los Angeles , United States ) is an American film producer with some early forays into film directing and screenwriting .

Live and act

The son of the Austrian-American production manager and acting agent Paul Kohner and the Mexican actress Lupita Tovar and brother of the actress Susan Kohner attended three universities in California (USC), Mexico and France (the Sorbonne in Paris) before joining the film. Kohner started out as a director, but from the mid-1970s he concentrated entirely on film production. There he made a name for himself with the production of action films and westerns with Charles Bronson in the lead role. This collaboration lasted almost a decade and a half.

In the 1990s, Kohner focused entirely on the animation of the children's book series Madeline by the Austrian-Belgian author Ludwig Bemelmans . For this he received the CableACE Award in 1995, and in 2002 he also won a Daytime Emmy Award . With the exception of a Madeline film that premiered in 1998 and was shot with real actors, all Madeline films, like television series, are animated films . Kohner's last production participation is the 2012 film adaptation of a Knut Hamsun novel.
