In 1966, Winkler became a film producer, forming a long and lucrative partnership with Robert I. Chartoff. The new team started modestly enough with an amusing Elvis Presley vehicle, Double Trouble (1967). Then followed a remarkable series of financial and critical successes, including They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969), The New Centurions (1971), and all five Rocky films. Winkler has picked up an Academy award for Rocky (1976), earned Oscar nominations for Raging Bull (1981), The Right Stuff (1984), and Goodfellas (1990), and has won scores of international film awards. Extending his activities to television, he has served as executive producer of the weekly series MacGyver and Monty. He added directing to his list of accomplishments with 1991's Guilty by Suspicion, which he also wrote. Irwin Winkler has since co-written and directed Night and the City (1992) and The Net (1995). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
