Behind the camera
Sifting through Lennon's belongings, Mintz came across hundreds of unreleased tapes, among them early takes of well-known hits and new songs left unfinished. Starting in 1988, he hosted The Lost Lennon Tapes, a weekly syndicated radio series based on those recordings.
Behind the award
For a radio interview Mintz conducted with Iranian students occupying the American Embassy in Tehran on November 30, 1979, he and KPFK overnight host Roy Tuckman earned a California Associated Press, Television and Radio Association award.
A change of course
Mintz's first public relations client was Bobby Sherman in the 1960s, before he went on to represent John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
Early training
Mintz moved to California in 1963, partly because of the film The Misfits. There he attended Los Angeles City College, studying broadcasting and starting to do radio interviews.
