Paul Frank, a producer and TV executive who worked at Columbia TriStar TV, the Firm and Prospect Park, died Sept. 30 at the age of 53.
Frank died at his home in Los Angeles of what family members believe was a heart attack. He was the son of Rich Frank, former Walt Disney Studios president, and the brother of Darryl Frank, Amblin TV co-president.
Most recently, Frank was executive VP and head of development at the cable and ecommerce venture BabyFirst TV.
Earlier in his career, Frank was a programming executive at Columbia TriStar TV (now Sony Pictures Television), where he worked on such shows as the syndicated Pamela Anderson vehicle “V.I.P.” and Showtime’s “Rude Awakenings.” He worked as a development exec for Motion Picture Corp. of America before signing on with Columbia TriStar in 1997.
