Orosz Cape Coral, FL AFFORDABLE CREMATIONS A DIGNIFIED ALTERNATIVE $495 CALL AND COMPARE. 997-0495 Frank Rosenfelt, 85, former MGM executive LOS ANGELES Frank Rosenfelt, who as chairman and CEO of MGM Studios helped green-light such classic movies as "Network" and "Doctor Zhivago," has died. He was 85.

Rosenfelt died Thursday at his Los Angeles home, his granddaughter, Stacey Lubliner, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. She did not know the cause of death. Rosenfelt, a lawyer, joined MGM in 1955 after spending five years in the legal department of RKO. He became MGM's general counsel in 1969 and was named studio chief after mogul Kirk Kerkorian bought MGM in 1972. He led negotiations when MGM acquired United Artists in 1981.

MGM turned out several major movies during Rosenfelt's time there, including Stanley Kubrick's 1968 epic, "2001: A Space Odyssey," and 1975s "The Sunshine Boys." He was credited with securing the movie rights for 1965's "Doctor Zhivago." One of his biggest disappointments was when "Network," which inspired the classic line, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore," lost the Academy Award for best picture to "Rocky." He reportedly was so angry he banned the mention of the winning movie's name from his home. The Associated Press Neptune Society. Pre-need cremation service since Simple, Dignified.
