Jon Peters first joined the family hairdressing business at Rodeo Drive where he made many film industry connections. Peters designed a short wig that Barbra Streisand wore for the comedy For Pete’s Sake (1974) to which the couple began a relationship.
Peters later produced Streisand’s studio album ButterFly (1974) and also gained a producing credit on Streisand’s remake of A Star Is Born (1976), although the extent of his contribution has been disputed. From 1989 until 1991, he also worked alongside Peter Guber for the next 10 years with whom he headed Sony Pictures Entertainment.
