Washington [US], June 2 (ANI): Martin Starger, the first president of ABC Entertainment who produced films such as ‘Sophie’s Choice’ and Robert Altman’s ‘Nashville’ has passed away at 92, reported Variety.
Starger died of natural causes in his Los Angeles home, his niece, casting director Ilene Starger, announced.
Starger was born May 8, 1932, in the Bronx, New York. He attended City College of New York and earned a degree in motion picture techniques.
He worked as a motion picture photographer for the US Army’s film production studio. He was sent to US Army Headquarters in Honolulu, Hawaii, and worked on all aspects of motion picture production. He wrote, directed, photographed and edited documentary and feature films for television, the Department of Defense and newsreels.

Starger then pursued a career in cinema and theatre. While at ABC, he championed Altman’s 1975 film. He was the executive producer of ‘Nashville’ along with Jerry Weintraub. This started his producing career, and he eventually established his own production company, Marstar Productions. He produced or executive produced the TV movies ‘Friendly Fire’, ‘Escape from Sobibor’, ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’, ‘The Merchant of Venice’, and ‘The Elephant Man’.
He received Tony nominations in 1987 and 1989 for producing the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical ‘Starlight Express’ and the comedy ‘Lend Me a Tenor’, respectively,
