John Goldwyn
Goldwyn was born in Los Angeles to a family working in the film industry. After graduating from Stanford with a degree in history, he decided to follow in his parents' footsteps and started his career in 1982 with The Ladd Company. He quickly rose through ranks there and helped create the Police Academy franchise.
The peak of his career lasted from mid-1980s to 1990s, when he worked for MGM/United Artists and later Paramount Pictures. During this period, he oversaw the production of Oscar-winning movies such as Moonstruck, A Fish Called Wanda, Forrest Gump, Braveheart and Titanic. Goldwyn stepped down from his executive role in Paramount in 2003.
Since then, Goldwyn became a producer, releasing some films with Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels before leaning heavily into TV serials, which he produced for the Discovery Channel, Hulu and Showtime.
