Jonathan D. Krane

In 1989, they adopted newborn twins, Jack and Hannah.

Krane took MCE public in 1987 as "Management Co. Entertainment Group", which made him the youngest CEO of a publicly traded company at the time.

Their first project was the hit film Trail of the Pink Panther, which they followed up with Curse of the Pink Panther the next year. All told, they made seven films together before Jonathan left to expand his own company called Management Company Entertainment (MCE), which he had formed in 1983.[1] The separation was not amicable, with Blake later saying he "was furious with Krane and no longer spoke to him because Krane had made all his contacts through Edwards and then left."

He married actress Sally Kellerman on May 11, 1980, in a private ceremony at Jennifer Jones' Malibu home.
