Robert Chartoff, who is best known for producing boxing
movies, died Wednesday at his Santa Monica, California, home, his daughter
Miranda Chartoff told CNN.
"My father was amazing. He was an amazing father and
person; there are no words. The important thing is that he died surrounded by
his family," daughter July Chartoff said.
According to the Internet Movie Database, Robert Chartoff
was born on August 26, 1933, which would have made him 81.
His best-known movies were the "Rocky" series,
starring Sylvester Stallone, and "Raging Bull," starring Robert De
Niro.
Chartoff seemed to be able to move seamlessly from
mainstream action entertainment to artistically acclaimed productions. He
produced or executive produced other hits, such as the space flight feature
"The Right Stuff" as well as two Shakespearean films and the South
Africa journalism drama "In My Country."
His latest movie, "Creed," a continuation of
the "Rocky" series, is in post-production, according to IMDb.
