Biography:One of the first independent producers to be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, "Jerry Weintraub", the son of a gem salesman, began his career as a talent agent for MCA in the 1950s. He was to represent such clients as "Jack Paar" and singer "Jane Morgan" who became his second wife.

He formed Management III in 1965, and from a quite modest beginning (two partners, three clients, a small backing), became a leading concert promoter. With the founding of Concerts West, he was to handle such clients as "Elvis Presley", "Frank Sinatra", "Bob Dylan", "Led Zeppelin", and "the Beach Boys".

"Robert Altman"'s groundbreaking "Nashville" (1975) was Weintraub's first production venture. This was soon followed with the successful comedy "Oh, God!" starring the legendary "George Burns" and "9/30/55" (aka "24 Hours of the Rebel" [1977]), the controversial "Cruising" (1980), and "All Night Long"...
