Midge Sanford(I)
- Producer
Midge Sanford began her professional career as a teacher. She entered
show business as a film story analyst, eventually teaming up with Sarah
Pillsbury in 1981 to form Sanford/Pillsbury Productions. She and her
partner have overcome the usual obstacles in working in a male
dominated field, including having to deny over and over that she and
Pillsbury are gay. The company has produced many character driven
projects, including the Independent Spirit Award winning River's Edge (1986) and
the Emmy winning And the Band Played On (1993). Their production company has been successful
for over twenty years.
