Harvey Weinstein CBE (born March 19, 1952) is an American former film producer. He and his brother Bob Weinstein co-founded the entertainment company Miramax, which produced several successful independent films, including Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989), The Crying Game (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Heavenly Creatures (1994), Flirting with Disaster (1996), and Shakespeare in Love (1998).
Weinstein won an Academy Award for producing Shakespeare in Love, and garnered seven Tony Awards for a variety of plays and musicals, including The Producers, Billy Elliot the Musical, and August: Osage County. After leaving Miramax, Weinstein and his brother Bob founded The Weinstein Company, a mini-major film studio. He was co-chairman, alongside Bob, from 2005 to 2017.
Former producer Harvey Weinstein has been hospitalized for a battery of tests regarding an undisclosed ailment, his lawyer said Saturday.
Weinstein is at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan. He arrived there Friday after returning to New York City following an appeals court ruling nullifying his 2020 rape conviction. “They examined him and sent him to Bellevue.
It seems like he needs a lot of help, physically. He’s got a lot of problems. He’s getting all kinds of tests. He’s somewhat of a train wreck, health-wise,” his attorney, Arthur Aidala said.
Craig Rothfeld, his prison consultant and Dept. of Corrections liaison, said that “We are grateful for NYC DOC’s care and discretion as they have been treating Harvey Weinstein’s medical issues as best they can.” Frank Dwyer, a spokesperson with the New York City Department of Correction, said only that Weinstein remains in custody at Bellevue.
