Charles D. King made history tonight, becoming the first African American producer to accept the PGA Milestone Award. It’s an award that’s bestowed to producers or production teams that have made historic contributions to the entertainment industry.
The 2023 recipients were Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy. Other past honorees include Louis B. Mayer, Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock, as well as Steven Spielberg, Bob Iger, Sherry Lansing, George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy, Clint Eastwood, James Cameron and more.
