Alexander Salkind (; 2 June 1921 – 8 March 1997) was a French film producer, the second of three generations of successful international producers.
Life and career
Salkind was born in the Free City of Danzig to Russian-born Jewish parents, Maria and Mikhail Salkind (later Miguel Salkind). His family moved to France, where his father worked as a film producer. Following in his father's footsteps, he produced French films and others in Europe and Hollywood: Austerlitz (1960) directed by Abel Gance, Kafka's The Trial (1962) directed by Orson Welles, and 1978's Superman starring Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder. Salkind's double production, The Three Musketeers (1973), closely followed by The Four Musketeers (1974), led the Screen Actors Guild to issue what became known as the "Salkind Clause", which is intended to guarantee that an acting contract for one film cannot be extended into two films without the consent of the actor. In 1985, DC Comics named Salkind as one of the honorees in the company's 50th anniversary publication Fifty Who Made DC Great for his work on the Superman film franchise.
Alexander Salkind died in Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1997 and was buried in the Cimetière de Bagneux in the Parisian suburb of Montrouge.
Salkind's son, Ilya Salkind (b. 1947), is also a film producer.
