# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Harvey Weinstein and his brother Bob co-founded Miramax in 1979, building it into an independent film powerhouse behind Sex, Lies, and Videotape, The Crying Game, Pulp Fiction, and Shakespeare in Love, the last of which earned Weinstein an Academy Award. He also won seven Tony Awards as a theatrical producer. After leaving Miramax, the brothers founded the Weinstein Company in 2005, where Harvey served as co-chairman until October 2017, when decades of sexual abuse allegations—dating to the late 1970s—surfaced publicly. Dismissed from his company and expelled from the Academy, Weinstein faced charges in New York and Los Angeles. In February 2020 he was convicted on two felony counts and sentenced to 23 years; in December 2022 he was convicted on three counts in California and sentenced to 16 years. New York's Court of Appeals overturned that conviction in April 2024 citing procedural errors, but Weinstein remained imprisoned on the California sentence. A retrial began in April 2025, resulting in a mixed guilty verdict in June.
