Edgar Bronfman Jr. was born May 16, 1955 in New York. His father was a
liquor magnate, and Bronfman wanted nothing to do with business. He
didn't even go to college. He had loftier ideals - he worked on his
music and eventually got his dad to help him bankroll the 1973 British
film, The Blockhouse (1973), and The Border (1982), a star-studded flop. Around that time,
Dionne Warwick recorded his song, "Whisper In the Dark". This level of success
was not quite what his father had in mind for him, however, and in 1982
he asked him to join the company. Edgar, Jr. became CEO in 1994, the
same year Seagram bought a share of Time Warner and he married Clarissa
Allcock. They have three children - Bronfman also has three from a
previous marriage.
