He also served as producer or executive producer for a number of television motion pictures and miniseries including "21 Hours at Munich" and "King," both of which earned Emmy Award nominations as Best TV Show of the Year.

In 1984, at Paramount, Mr. Feldman produced "Witness," and his collaboration with director Peter Weir and actor Harrison Ford garnered them eight Academy Award nominations, including one for Best Picture.
