John Korty Dies: Emmy-Winning ‘The Autobiography Of Miss Jane Pittman’ Director Was 85

John Korty, who directed the Emmy-winning The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman and the Oscar-winning documentary Who Are the DeBolts? and Where Did They Get Nineteen Kids?, died March 9 at his home in Marin County, California. He was 85.
His death was first reported in the Marin Independent Journal.
One of the premiere directors during the made-for-TV movie heyday that began in the early 1970s, Korty helmed the sci-fi chiller The People (1972), the anti-drug drama Go Ask Alice (1973) and, in 1980, the holiday tale A Christmas Without Snow.

The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman was a stand-out among the era’s TV films, scoring critical raves, big ratings and nine Emmy Awards including wins for Korty, Tyson, Tracy Keenan Wynn’s screenplay and the series itself. Korty and Tyson would reunite 23 years later for the 1997 TV-movie Ms. Scrooge, a re-telling of the Dickens holiday classic with Tyson as the miserly Ebenita Scrooge.
On the film side, Korty directed the 1977 theatrical documentary Who Are the DeBolts? and Where Did They Get Nineteen Kids?, about an American couple named Dorothy and Bob DeBolt who, in addition to their biological
