- Lew Grade, Baron Grade (eigentlich: Louis Winogradsky; * 25. Dezember 1906 in Tokmak, Oblast Saporischschja, Ukraine; † 13. Dezember 1998 in London, England) war ein britischer Filmproduzent ukrainischer Herkunft. (de)
- Lew Grade, Baron Grade, Kt, OStJ, (born Lev Winogradsky; 25 December 1906 – 13 December 1998) was a British media proprietor and impresario. Originally a dancer, and later a talent agent, Grade's interest in television production began in 1954 when, in partnership, he successfully bid for franchises in the newly created ITV network, which led to the creation of Associated Television (ATV). Having worked for a time in the United States, he was aware of the potential for the sale of television programming to American networks. The Incorporated Television Company (ITC; commonly known as ITC Entertainment) was formed with this specific objective in mind. Grade had some success in this field with such series as Gerry Anderson's many Supermarionation series such as Thunderbirds, Patrick McGoohan's The Prisoner, and Jim Henson's The Muppet Show. Later, Grade invested in feature film production, but several expensive box-office failures caused him to lose control of ITC, and ultimately resulted in the disestablishment of ATV after it lost its ITV franchise.

- Lew Grade (eigenlijk Louis Winogradsky; (Oekraïne), 25 december 1906 – Londen (Verenigd Koninkrijk), 13 december 1998) was een invloedrijke Engelse impresario en televisie- en filmproducent. Zijn Joods ouderlijk gezin vluchtte in 1912 voor de pogroms in Oekraïne naar Oost-Londen. Midden jaren zeventig kwam hij in contact met de Amerikaanse poppenspeler Jim Henson, die naarstig op zoek was naar een financier voor zijn nieuwe variétéprogramma The Muppet Show. De twee werden het eens en het programma werd wereldwijd een succes. Als dank baseerde Henson het personage Lew Lord uit The Muppet Movie op Grade. Lew Grade stierf op 91-jarige leeftijd aan hartfalen. (nl)
