CNN)—Jerry Weintraub, the high-powered Hollywood mogul whose career included promoting Elvis Presley concerts, producing the "Ocean's" movies and spinning larger-than-life tales, has died, according to his publicist. He was 77.
Weintraub died in Santa Barbara of cardiac arrest, publicist Michelle Bega said.
Among the friends mourning his death was former President George H.W. Bush, a longtime Weintraub pal.

I saw this in his Wiki entry.
In 2014 he won an Emmy as co-producer of Years of Living Dangerously, a television documentary about global warming.
I saw that too. I was thinking it was the movie out about 20 years ago.
I think Henry Silva is the only guy still alive from that picture.....
I saw “Diner” when it was released. I am not sure how the movie stands to the test of time but the parts about the Baltimore Colts’ football team and how they were a fabric of that community were interesting.
Yeah..but the remake had the beautiful Bellagio in a wonderful cameo..(if you didn't cry during that scene, you must be made of stone)
I know a Colts fan. He loved that movie for that reason.
Then why do I count 12 in that picture? Is one of them the director?
uh....the title is “Ocean’s Eleven”, like the dude called Ocean and his 11 gang members.
The Akim Tamiroff character - fifth from the right - was not one of the eleven. His character provided the financing and logistics for the heist.
There were only 11 in the remake: Clooney, Pitt, Damon, Cheadle, Mac, Caan, Affleck, Reiner, Gould, Jemison, Qin.
If he was a climate change zealot his next movie would likely have been titled “11 Oceans”.
RIP.
