Director, Producer, Screenwriter, Executive Producer Born: May 31, 1929 in Tiberias, Israel (then Palestine) Biography:As one of the leaders in Israeli cinema, filmmaker/producer "Menahem Golan" has collaborated with his cousin "Yoram Globus" since the early '60s to produce over 150 movies. He spent many years directing theatrical productions in Israel before coming to the U.S. to study film in New York and later became a protegé of director "Roger Corman". When Golan returned to his homeland, he and Globus worked together to create Israel's film industry with prestigious films such as "Sallah Shabati" (1964). In 1979, Golan and Globus took over the Cannon group in Hollywood where for the next 10 years they produced quality independent films such as "Love Streams" (1984) and "Barfly" (1987). In 1989, the two producers went their separate ways with Globus becoming the head of Pathe International, and Golan moving to take over the 21st Century Film Corporation. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
