Biography in: "American National Biography". Supplement 1, pp. 215-216 (as Mike Francovich). New York: Oxford University Press, 2002.
Educated at UCLA.
Father of screenwriter Mike Frankovich Jr. and Peter Frankovich.
When Frankovich married actress Binnie Barnes, columnist Louella Parsons asked Barnes, "How could a nice Catholic girl like you marry that awful Jew Frankovich?" not knowing that it was Barnes who was Jewish and Frankovich who was Catholic. When Frankovich became a producer, he barred Parsons from any movie set that he or his wife was working on.
