Hollywood is down a lion.
Jerry Weintraub, the mega-producer and short-timehead of United Artists studio, died Monday at his home in Palm Springs.
He was 77.
The exec—who helped shepherd the likes of Nashville, Diner, the original Karate Kid and the Ocean’s Eleven franchise to the big screen and titled his 2009 memoir When I Stop Talking, You’ll Know I’m Dead.
According to Variety, he had been in poor health.
Weintraub’s most recent project was executive-producing the war-and-politics satire The Brink, which just premiered, for HBO.
The three-time Emmy winner most recently won for HBO’s Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra and the documentary Years of Living Dangerously.
