Charles H. Joffe (July 16, 1929 – July 9, 2008) was an American film producer and comedy talent manager .[ 1] He is best known as, in partnership with Jack Rollins , the producer or executive producer of most of Woody Allen 's films. Joffe won the 1977 Academy Award for Best Picture as producer of Allen's Annie Hall .

Joffe focused more on Allen, with Rollins focusing on others.[ 1] Their clients also included Robert Klein and David Letterman .[ 2]

Joffe was married to set decorator Carol Joffe [ 5] (former wife of sculptor Lawrence Holofcener ) with whom he has an adopted son, Cory Joffe, and two stepdaughters, Suzanne Holofcener and director Nicole Holofcener .[ 6] He died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, a week before his 79th birthday, after a long illness.[ 1]
