Jon Peters Early Life

He entered this world on June 2, 1945, in Van Nuys, California. His mother’s family ran a salon on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, where he spent his childhood learning how to cut and style women’s hair. Jon was LA’s most famous barber in the ’70s. He worked with various famous people, charging exorbitant rates for his services.

In 1974, for the film “For Pete’s Sake,” Barbra Streisand asked him to create a wig for her character. Soon after, Jon and Barbra started dating. At the time, he was wed to pop star Lesley Ann Warren.

Jon Peters’s Personal Life

In his personal life, Jon has been married and divorced four times. From 1967 to 1974, he married singer/actress Lesley Ann Warren. The news that he had married Pamela Anderson was a complete surprise to the public in 2020. They had a brief romance in the 1980s. It is said that Jon flew the Sony corporate aircraft to drop off flowers for supermodel Vendela Kirsebom.

Jon Peters Career

In 1976, Jon produced “A Star Is Born,” starring Barbra Streisand. With only a $6 million budget, the film grossed over $100 million worldwide and was nominated for four Academy Awards. Peters produced multiple platinum and gold records for the multi-platinum-selling artist Barbra Streisand. Jon launched Polygram Productions in 1980 with fellow producer Peter Guber.

Boardwalk Productions was born after producer Neil Bogart joined the team; sadly, Bogart died in 1982. Films like “Caddyshack,” “An American Werewolf in London,” “Flashdance,” and “The Color Purple” were all made by the Guber-Peters team. As a result of their achievements, Warner Brothers offered them the most lucrative production contract ever.

With a budget of only $35 million, Jon and Peter’s 1989 film “Batman” became Warners’ most profitable movie to date. As a result of their massive success, Warner Brothers offered Guber and Peters a deal worth several million dollars. Shortly after signing their contract, Sony Pictures came knocking and offered to buy Guber-Peters Entertainment from them for $50 million.

Under Peters Guber’s watch, Sony spent $8 billion on production and other costs, resulting in a nearly $3 billion loss. When Peter and Jon departed Sony in the mid-1990s, they received severance payments of $30-50 million each. Jon purchased the Superman picture rights in the 1990s.

Over the course of his production career, he repeatedly tried to get a Superman film done, even considering casting Nicolas Cage in the lead role. For both the 2006 “Superman Returns” and the 2013 “Man of Steel,” Peters had a sizable stake in the film’s box office returns.

He later admitted that he made $85 million from those two films alone, despite having had nothing involvement in their creation. Even though he wanted to see where they filmed Man of Steel, producer Christopher Nolan said no. For the 2018 version of “A Star Is Born,” he also played a similar role.

Other Works

In 2009, Peters submitted an idea for an autobiography book. He intended to write about his sexual encounters with celebrities such as Barbra Streisand and Sharon Stone. In 2009, he terminated his book contract with HarperCollins due to the negative publicity generated by the proposal’s release.

Charity

Through The Peters Family Foundation, Peters supports the Christopher Reeve Foundation, Life Rolls On, Homeboy Industries, My Friend’s Place, Cambodian Children’s Fund, Andre Sobel River of Life Foundation, Heartfelt Foundation, The Laurence School, the Sheriff’s Youth Foundation, and numerous other youth charities.

Legal Issues

In 2011, Peters was ordered to pay $3,3 million in restitution for sexual harassment and a hostile work environment during the production of Superman Returns. The 44-year-old single mother also alleged that she could not find employment after the incident due to Peters’ professional clout. The claimant was ultimately awarded both compensatory and punitive damages.
