University Place, WA — Prolific director John Llewellyn Moxey, died April 29 at a hospice here of lung cancer. He was 94. MSTies will remember his work directing the movie/TV pilot in episode 614- SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL.
Born in 1925 in Argentina, and after serving in World War II, he managed to get a job in Hollywood, starting in the editing room, then moving to assistant director. He later moved to television, where directed episodes of TV series such as “The Saint,” “Mission:Impossible” and “Kung Fu,” as well as the beloved “Night Stalker” movie/pilot. He retired in 1991.
Variety has an obit.
Thanks to Tim for the heads up.

Posted by Sampo, on April 27th, 2019 Alert regular Perry suggests…
What would your favorite (presumably good) movie look like if it had been directed by your favorite (not so good) director?
The Godfather by Hal Warren. Michael comes back from college, and spends a lot of time hanging around the house listening to Vito and Sonny argue about Connie’s bum of a husband, who they then go shoot.
Ben Hur by Roger Corman. The chariot race takes place on a much smaller track.
Star Wars, by B.I.G. Flying postcards of spaceships.
Your pick?

Florida–English-American actor, dancer, choreographer, producer, film distributor, director and screenwriter David Winters died here April 23.
Winters participated in more than 150 television series, television specials and motion pictures. His accolades include two Emmy nominations, a Peabody Award, a Christopher Award and many more. He was 80.
But MSTies will remember just one of the movies he directed: the movie in episode 820- SPACE MUTINY. And, using the name Maria Dante, he also wrote the screenplay. He was also a choreographer for the movie in episode 615- KITTEN WITH A WHIP.
There’s a nice appreciation of him here.
Thanks to Paul and Duane for the heads up.
