Eric Eisner and Nora Guthrie met in their early teens, at a summer camp for "red diaper babies", the children of New York's radical left activists.
Eric spent the bulk of his junior year drumming with The Strangers, a Motown and Stones-influenced group on the Village scene who were friends and shared management [4] with The Lovin' Spoonful.
Eric and Nora had no expectations for the record, and thus were not terribly disappointed when it went nowhere.

If there was such a savvy spirit out there 27 years ago, it was Eric Eisner, who chose to be the son of the King of Disney.
Eric the Bred was featured in the October issue of Details magazine for his Web site, romp.com, which is definitely not his father’s multimedia shindig.
Still, the not-for-the-entire-family spirit is refreshing, not because it’s rare, but because it’s Eric Eisner.

 Brandweek: Romp 'n Roll - profile of entertainment web site The Romp - Brief Article
Eric Eisner and Bruce Forman bring their raucous point of view to the Web.
In an age in which interactive visionaries have turned "thinking outside the box" into personal mission statements, Eric Eisner and Bruce Forman, co-founders of Los Angeles-based The Romp (romp.com), a self-described "freewheeling entertainment destination cut from the unruliness and irreverence of the Internet," seem to have a different--if equally ambitious--agenda in mind.
Neither Forman nor Eisner are adverse to syndicating material to other sites or charging users a fee--realizing, of course, that the pornography industry's online success in charging for its material is due to its hardcore nature.

 Eisner
According to their accountants, Disney made just over $2 billion in profits in the last 3 years, and roughly $6 billion if you dig back through the last 5 years.
Now I know that comparing Eisner's compensation including stock options to the company's profits is not quite a straightforwarding accounting matter, but it looks like Michael Eisner got 11% of the profit that Disney made over the last 5 years.
But Mr Eisner, it may come as news to you, but you are not alone in that.

As a top programming executive at ABC in the 1970s, he was instrumental in taking the network from its usual third place to the top through programming like "Happy Days" (1974).
When Barry Diller brough Eisner to Paramount in 1976, the company was firmly in sixth place (out of six) in the movie industry, without a single release in the box-office top ten.
Even though the judge ruled that Eisner did not owe the Disney shareholders any money, the judge ruled that Eisner often put his own interests over that of his company.

That's TheRomp.com, a high-tech enfant terrible founded by Eric Eisner, son of Disney chief Michael Eisner, and friend Bruce Forman.
As with today's highly interactive video games, TheRomp viewers are invited to use their computer mouses to manipulate cartoon vignettes--allowing them to participate in all sorts of dastardly dramas.
Eisner and Forman say that their entrepreneurial brainstorm was the manifestation of many business school hours spent "blowing off class and fucking around online." But TheRomp is not just a site helping people eat time with games.

Camp recounts Eisner's experience in the bland jolly-ho language of a corporate speech extolling the merits of fresh air and craft cabins.
A speech Eisner gave to a camping conference in early 2002 inspired him to write at length about his own experiences.
But given the presence of James B. Stewart's withering Eisner exposé DisneyWar on the bestseller lists, Camp comes off as strange and almost creepy—so full of apple-pie sentiments that it leaves the impression of an embattled executive straining to prove that a big heart beats beneath his slick suit.

Deposed Disney chairman Michael Eisner may be leaving his fellow “castmembers” come October, but don’t expect him to wile away his days at the Bel-Air Country Club or that massive beachfront compound he’s been building in Malibu.
A source very close to Eisner’s family said that the recently deposed exec is planning to start a movie, TV, and videogame production company with his three sons: Sahara director Breck, 35, Eric, 31, and Anders, 26.
There could even be a place in the venture for Eisner’s longtime pal Barry Diller, the source said.

Odd Lot's Deborah Del Prete said: "Will Eisner created a tremendous character and story, and Jeph Loeb is the perfect writer to enhance and honor his legacy.
Will Eisner's The Spirit was created in 1940 and is the story of a masked detective — believed to be dead and operating out of his grave site in Wildwood Cemetery — who fights crime in Central City with his fists, cunning (a tongue-in-cheek sense of the absurd), and unbelievable threshold for pain.
Jeph Loeb, who received Eisner Awards in 1998 and 2003 for Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: Dark Victory (respectively), is responsible for some of the greatest comic book stories in recent years.
