Zev Braun (born October 19, 1928 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American motion picture producer. Though much of his work is in television (most notably as the executive producer of the Tour of Duty series) he has been a successful filmmaker since the early 1960s and continues to produce films for the big screen.
Braun's interest in filmmaking led him fresh from studying Humanities and Classic Arts at the University of Chicago to enter movies while still serving as President of Braun International, his family's packaging firm.
1960s
In 1964, his production of Goldstein won the Prix de la Nouvelle Critique at the Cannes Film Festival.
1970s
In 1974, his co-production of Maximilian Schell's The Pedestrian won the Golden Globe Award as Best Foreign Film, and was nominated for an Academy Award in the same category. His production of The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane, starring Jodie Foster and Martin Sheen, was voted Best Horror Film by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.
Some of Braun's other productions in the 1970s include: Angela, starring Sophia Loren and John Huston; Freedom Road, starring Muhammad Ali and Kris Kristofferson; and The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu, starring Peter Sellers and Helen Mirren.
