Biography

Sandy Gallin is a legendary Hollywood producer and talent manager, who has worked with some of the biggest names in music and film, including Dolly Parton, Mariah Carey, and Whoopi Goldberg. He is Parton's partner in Sandollar Productions, which has been behind a great deal of Parton's cinematic and television work. After producing several TV movies in the 1970s and 1980s, Gallin worked with Parton on the TV variety series "Dolly" in the late 1980s. Though that series flopped, they did produce some notable films throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s, including the Steve Martin remake of "Father of the Bride," the Michael Douglas war drama "Shining Through," and writer/director Noah Baumbach's debut feature, "Kicking and Screaming." In the 1990s Gallin began producing for television, starting with stand-up comic, Margret Cho's series "All-American Girl." After producing the surprisingly popular cheerleader-cum-assassin horror comedy "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Gallin went on to executive produce the spin-off television drama of the same name. The series, which starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, became a major hit of the late 1990s and early 2000s, and inspired its own spin-off, "Angel," on which Gallin also executive produced
