Biography

[edit]

Stern attended Ryerson Institute of Technology and served in the Canadian Infantry before inaugurating his directing career.[4] He began his career in advertising, writing and directing radio and TV commercials, then moved to Los Angeles in the 1960s where he wrote for the ABC variety show, The Hollywood Palace.[5]

The bulk of Stern's output was in the field of made-for-TV movies, both in the United States and Canada, focusing on women's issues, noir thriller, action/adventure and occasionally, sports.[1] Some film credits may appear as Steve Stern and Steven H. Stern rather than the full middle name.

Stern died in Encino, California, on June 27, 2018, age 80.[5]
