Who is Harvey Weinstein?

You may be in the minority who knows nothing about Harvey Weinstein (biography) - the shining star the girls searched for in "Looking for Harvey Weinstein" - he was the public face of Miramex films and started it up with his self effacing brother Bob. They have moved on and started up Weinstein Co in 2006 and maybe they have since dropped the ball, or at least the celluloid!

He is a big man in many ways, 6ft, 300lbs and larger than life.

He has also displayed genius in making films in an industry that is not short of genius. He has also made wads of money!

To the girls, he seemed to be the perfect sponsor of their penniless genius Fresco painter to set up the First American School of Fresco.

An open letter to Harvey from the girls

Harvey (scissorhands) Weinstein, the public face of Miramex films. Would he help the genius of Fresco or cut up his paintings?"
