Robert Sparr
American screenwriter, television director and film director (1915–1969)
Robert Sparr was an American screenwriter, television director, and film director. He died as a result of a plane crash in Colorado while scouting filming locations for the 1970 film Barquero with fellow Star Trek crew member, cameraman Gerald Finnerman. The pilot was also killed but Finnerman survived. The plane crash prompted a drawn-out legal battle involving Sparr's son for a wrongful death suit, which went to the United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit.
