Weinstein is a legendary film producer who co-founded Miramax with his brother, Bob. Notoriously quick-tempered Harvey now presides over The Weinstein Company with his lower-key sibling. The Weinsteins founded Miramax in 1979, focusing on small art-house films throughout the '80s, including Errol Morris' The Thin Blue Line. The movie that ignited their careers—and the entire indie film movement—was Steven Soderbergh's sex, lies and videotape in 1989, which made Miramax the leading independent production studio in America. Harvey and his brother went on a tear during the '90s, producing such films as Oscar-winners The English Patient, Shakespeare in Love, and Good Will Hunting. In addition to an Oscar for producing Shakespeare in Love, Harvey has seven Tonys for his productions of numerous Broadway hits. The brothers left Disney-acquired Miramax in 2005 to form their own production company, producing a few semi-successful films (Hoodwinked and Michael Moore's Sicko, for example), though not approaching the success of Miramax in its heyday. His second—and current—wife is designer Georgina Chapman.
