Beloved Hollywood manager Peter Meyer, known for representing A-listers like Tom Hanks and Kevin Costner, passed away at 68 due to Sarcoma. His sister shared, “After a heroic five-year battle against sarcoma, Meyer found peace surrounded by his family.” His clients and friends mourn his loss.
Meyer, a William Morris talent agent for over a decade, later founded Meyer Management in 1989, representing various talents. A memorial will be held on June 13, 2023.
Meanwhile, Kevin Costner, amidst his divorce from Christine Baumgartner, has invested significantly in his Western project, Horizon franchise.
He mortgaged a 10-acre waterfront plot in Santa Barbara to fund the project, contributing up to $50 million of its $100 million budget, saying, “I believe in the idea and the story.” He’s committed to making it a success, despite the risks, declaring, “I’m never putting my money in another movie after these four.”
