Robert Iscove
Robert Iscove began his career as a choreographer, working on stage and screen with such notable projects as "Peter Pan" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" and put his fluid visual approach to good use as a director for television moving into film in the late 1990s. A successful and prolific television director for much of the 80s and early 90s, Iscove made an initial splash in the early 70s, choreographing music and variety specials for stars including Burt Bacharach, Ann-Margret and Dorothy Hamill. A 1983 ice skating infused production of "Romeo & Juliet" starring the latter was one of Iscove's early directing and producing as well as choreographing credits, and the special, titled "Dorothy Hamill in Romeo & Juliet on Ice" earned him Daytime Emmy honors for his directing efforts.
