Harvey Weinstein's rise and fall signals the end of an era in indie film - LA Times
'The Weinstein brothers were 20-something concert promoters when in 1979 they started Miramax Film Corp., naming the company after their parents, Miriam and Max. '
'Harvey Weinstein, the brash outsider from Queens who upended Hollywood, has always liked to think of himself as an underdog. '
'In 1989, the Weinsteins shot to prominence when they bought the rights to release Steven Soderbergh’s “sex, lies, and videotape” not long after the film won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival. '
'A 2015 survey of nearly 1,400 Oscar acceptance speeches by the website Vocativ found that Weinstein was thanked more frequently than God. '
'From there, Miramax — which the Weinsteins would sell to the Walt Disney Co. in 1993 but continue to operate — had a roller-coaster existence. '
