3 unusual facts about James Kahn


James Kahn

Among the series he worked on were Family Medical Center, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Beyond Reality, TekWar (created by William Shatner), Medicine Ball, Xena: Warrior Princess, Melrose Place (which he also co-executive produced in its last years), Star Trek: Voyager (also Supervising Producer) and All My Children (for which he and the writing staff were Emmy-nominated).

Kahn did several more novelizations after that – Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Goonies and Poltergeist II.

When, during his fifth year in the college, his short story, "The Box", won second place in a U. of C. contest, one of the judges, Daryl Hine, sent Kahn's story to Playboy magazine, which bought it and published it in March 1971 – marking Kahn’s debut as a professional writer.
