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.
Mira Sorvino is looking back at working with Woody Allen and Harvey Weinstein. Sorvino, who earned an Academy Award and Golden Globe for Allen’s 1995 “Mighty Aphrodite”, told Marc Maron on his “WTF” podcast about how it affected her. “It’s so hard to talk about it now because I now have a very different opinion of Woody than I did then.
And I blame myself for not investigating further into what happened with Dylan [Farrow],” she said. Farrow allegedly suffered abuse from her adoptive father, Allen.

It’s not an excuse, I should have.” She said just because she thought Allen was “brilliant” doesn’t mean “he’s not a terrible person who hurt his daughter, who hurt a child, and there is no forgiveness for that.” Sorvino said that it was her role in that film that caused Harvey Weinstein to become interested in her.
Sorvino later came forward with allegations of sexual abuse against the disgraced producer. “It really taints it. And it’s so crazy that so much of much of my early career is tainted by [Allen] and by Harvey Weinstein,” Sorvino added. “It’s sort of breathtaking.” Sorvino was one of the first women to come forward with allegations against Weinstein, who she also worked on “Blue In The Face”, “Beautiful Girls” and “Mimic” with.
