Jim Abrahams

Born May 10, 1944 in Shorvude (Wisconsin, USA). He studied at the University of Wisconsin. In 1969, together with his brothers Zucker, Jerry and David, created the Theater at Madison `Kentucky Fried`. Soon, this creative trio moved to Los - Angeles, where they rented a comedy `Kentucky Fried Movie` (1977). Further work of this group, set in a satirical vein, and parody (sometimes very toxic) picture of popular genres - `disaster 'films, spy and police pictures, military fighters - have acquired considerable popularity. Suffice it to mention such names as `Airplane!`, `Naked Gun ',' Hot Shots'. Like his partners, Jim Abrahams started `solo 'career, putting the film as a director` big deal' (1988) and acted as executive producer John Waters' `tape` Cry-Baby (1990).
