Jerry Weintraub, Legendary Hollywood Producer and Personal Manager, Worked with Clooney, Damon, Elvis, Sinatra :When He Talks, You Should Listen!

Jerry Weintraub at Ocean's  Thirteen Premiere
Jerry Weintraub is one of the most successful guys in Hollywood. He had produced Diner, and all of the Ocean films with Matt Damon and George Clooney.  He had also worked with Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Led Zeppelin and John Denver to name a few. He is a very personal guy who grew up in Brooklyn and learned a lot from his dad.  He is full of stories of how he conducted his business in the music and movie industry.  HBO had premiered, His Way on April 4, 2011 a feature length documentary on Mr. Weintraub.  The film was directed by, Douglas McGrath and Steven Soderberg was the executive producer. Nothing is better than seeing a success story and hearing from the person how they did it.  Jerry Weintraub is a master at being a personal manager and producer of films.  The HBO special is terrific and an absolute must for anyone who wants to make it in business and Hollywood.  Mr Weintraub is around 74 years old and still married to his wife, but is living with his girlfriend for over 20 years.  The situation seems to work out for his wife thought that there was no need for a divorce for it would waste money on lawyers.  Mr Weintraub also has a book, "When I Stop Talking You'll Know I am Dead."  It is hard to find people who are so successful and who are willing to share their stories.  This documentary is a must see for anyone who wants to take advice from a pro, because it doesn't get much better than Jerry Weintraub.
When Mr. Weintraub talks you better be listening!
