Lew Grade
1906–1998
British media proprietor and impresario. Produced seven films on this site, including The Cassandra Crossing (1976), March or Die (1977) and Escape to Athena (1979).
Originally a dancer, and later a talent agent, Grade's interest in television production began in 1954 when he founded the Incorporated Television Company (ITC; commonly known as ITC Entertainment) to distribute programmes.

Later, Grade invested in feature film production, but several expensive box-office failures caused him to lose control of ITC, and ultimately resulted in the disestablishment of its associate ATV, which lost its ITV franchise.
