James Goldstone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Goldstone (1931-1999) was an Emmy winning director of both television and theatrical films during the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s.

Goldstone was noted for the momentum and "fifteen-minute cliffhangers" that he brought to TV pilots such as Star Trek, Ironside, and The Senator. His later career helped pioneer the concept of "thirty-second attention span" pacing over detailed content in his dramatizations of Rita Hayworth, Calamity Jane, and the Kent State shootings for which he won the Emmy.
