Biography
György Gát was born in Budapest on 5 February 1947.[2] Gát's first hit was the crime-comedy TV series Linda (1984–1989). Linda starred his wife Nóra Görbe.[3][4]
It was during the pre-production of "Linda[5]" that Gát became Hungary's first independent television producer – a position that at the time the regime did not acknowledge.
Gát subsequently created series "Angyalbőrben"[6] (1990–1991), "Familia Kft."[7] (1991–1997), "TV a város szélén" (1998),[8] "SztárVár"[9] (2005) and the animated series "Szerencsi fel!" (2004).
In 2008 he co-wrote and co-directed a sequel to animated movie Vuk, called "A Kis Vuk"[10] (in English: A Fox's Tale).
Gát had two children with Görbe, Anna (b. 1983) and Márton (b. 1989). He died on 13 March 2024, at the age of 77.[11]
