Harvey Weinstein was the man Meryl Streep jokingly called “God” at the 2012 Golden Globes.
But his world came crashing down when the New York Times published a story on October 5 alleging sexual harassment, sparking a dramatic downfall worthy of his own hit films.
New York-born Weinstein, 65, began his career in 1979 when he and his younger brother Bob set up a distribution company, Miramax, which the duo named after their parents Miriam and Max.
Their first big success was Sex, Lies, And Videotape in 1989.
