Jim Green, the renowned producer behind the classic horror flick 'Stephen King's It,' passed away on August 9 at the age of 83 in Santa Barbara, following a long illness. His wife of 59 years, singer Cathy Cole Green, a member of The King Family, announced his death.
Green's illustrious career in television spanned over four decades, during which he developed and produced nearly 200 made-for-TV movies, including the ABC Movie of the Week franchise. This groundbreaking series, launched under then-development head Barry Diller, transformed the once-struggling network's primetime lineup and catapulted Green to prominence in the industry.
