## Biography

Bo Christensen (24 August 1937 – 11 April 2020) was a Danish film producer and production manager. Born in Frederiksberg, he began his career in the late 1950s at Nordisk Film, working as an assistant director and later as a production manager and producer on numerous films and television series.

He produced or co-produced more than 60 films, including most of the Olsen Gang series from the late 1960s to the early 1980s, the television series *Matador* (1978–1982), and *Europa* (1991). Christensen served as producer on *Babette's Feast* (1987), directed by Gabriel Axel, which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and a BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language.
