Armando Nuñez Sr., the longtime international television distribution executive who worked for CBS, 20th Century Fox and ITC Entertainment, died July 10 in Miami of natural causes. He was 96.
Cuban-born Nuñez worked for 20th Century Fox in Havana and New York before leaving for ITC Entertainment in 1964. He remained with ITC through various owners and incarnations, including Polygram and Universal, for the remainder of his five-decade career.
Nuñez was born in Cuba in 1927 and later fled the country after Fidel Castro seized power in October 1960. He emigrated to the United States with his wife Clara Jo (Josie), who was eight months pregnant with their first son, Armando, Jr. , who would later become President of CBS Global Distribution and Chief Content Licensing Officer at ViacomCBS. His other son, David Nuñez, was also an international television executive.
