  Associated Press, August 4, 1998
Perenchio, who lives with his third wife in the $20 million Bel- Air estate once used in "The Beverly Hillbillies," was among the state's 2,837 designated "major donors" in 1997.
Perenchio was recently named co-chairman of a group of business leaders trying to lure the 2000 Democratic National Convention to Los Angeles and has agreed to contribute a minimum of $100,000 to help underwrite convention-related costs.
Perenchio got his start in show business 45 years ago as a talent agent and worked his way up the Hollywood ladder until he bought his own media company, Univision Communications Inc., two years ago.

Perenchio ended up owning 75 percent of the station group and 50 percent of the network, with Mexico-based Televisa and Venezuela-based Venevision taking the rest.
Perenchio maintained a special class of stock that gave him 10 votes for every share, thus ensuring his control of the company.

 Surfrider Foundation's Malibu Chapter - Perenchio's Golf Course
Perenchio has stated that he thought he had informal verbal agreement from CCC staff to allow the golf park to be built.
While Perenchio insisted that only two of the park’s ten acres could be used to expand the lagoon (the rest would be a passive recreation park) it would still improve the ecology of the lagoon, although it might not happen for 20-40 years or more—after both Perenchios have passed away.

Perenchio is also a partner in Chartwell Partners, an investment group that gave $769,500 in political contributions to Republicans in the 2002 election cycle.
Perenchio is among an elite club of “pioneers” who have raised at least $100,000 for Bush’s 2004 re-election campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a campaign finance watchdog group.
Prop 187 was seen by most as anti-Mexican immigration, and for Perenchio to support it was considered a strange stance for the head of a Spanish-language network, the largest bulk of whose viewers have emigrated from Mexico.

Perenchio's letter came just six days after the request was made in the form of a letter signed by the City Council, the Planning Commission and three Measure M opponents; Pat Healy, Efrom Fader and John Mazza.
They say Perenchio's letter should not be taken to mean a chance of further negotiation is over, but, rather, they say it is just another step in the negotiation process.
He said Perenchio's letter should be taken as a signal that the MBC is not interested in further negotiation.

In its petition, the chapter requests that the commission reject the permit application, require Perenchio to transform the property to a private garden park and make him install a runoff collection system that would eliminate any pollutants from entering Malibu's waters.
In 1982, Perenchio received a Coastal Commission permit for an 8-foot high rock wall, a jogging track, three ponds, irrigation and lighting system, a dish radio receiver and three gazebos behind one of his Malibu Colony homes.
Perenchio was forced to go to the commission to get a permit in July.

Lear and talent agent Jerry Perenchio founded T.A.T.

The Lear organization was one of the most successful independent TV producers of the 1970s.
Bud Yorkin (born 22nd February 1926) is an American producer/director/ writer/actor who with collaborator, Norman Lear scored in the 1970s with the TV hits All in the Family, Maude and Sanford and Son.
Lear attempted to return to TV production in the 1990s with the shows Sunday Dinner, The Powers that Be, and 704 Hauser, the last one putting a different family in the house from All in the Family.

Jerry Perenchio is the chairman of Univision, the leading Spanish-language TV network in the US.
When the project was in the design phase the billionaire media mogul informed the regulator responsible, the California Coastal Commission (CCC), that he had been told by doctors to build a park with a jogging trail for the good of his heart.
Perenchio apparently said it was ‘no big deal’, and began working on amending the original permit so as to allow for the golf course.

Perenchio is a billionaire, and has no financial need for the film to be reissued.
I know everyone's hands are tied by Perenchio, but is there anything consumers can do to appeal to the man? Bugging WB isn't going to do anything, obviously.
Also Perenchio would have no say in most extras that were included on any new DVD release (i.e Ridley commentary) and I doubt he has any say in any restoration of the "current" versions of the movie.

In an era of publicity-courting media moguls such as Rupert Murdoch and Sumner M. Redstone, the self-possessed Andrew Jerrold Perenchio quietly runs what may be one of the more valuable pieces of media real estate in the business.
Perenchio made an early bet on what seemed like a niche market by buying five TV stations and a struggling Hispanic network.
In 2000, the company withstood a 32-day hunger strike by employees at its Fresno TV station, who claimed they were paid less than their English-speaking counterparts.

Perenchio needs help from Davis appointees on the Coastal Commission because he finally got caught by the Commission operating his non-permitted, illegal, three-hole golf course next to Malibu Lagoon--secretly built for his wife behind eight-foot rock walls.
In filings long ago, Perenchio told the Coastal Commission he was using the 10 acres for a "jogging trail." But the illegal golf course was an inside joke among L.A.'s wealthiest, who kept mum as the hated Coastal Commission dumbly failed to grasp where poisons running into Malibu Lagoon were coming from.
Perenchio is hardly the only name on the Grease Gray donor list who may one day need a delicate personal intervention from the governor.

Perenchio's maverick madness, it doesn't take a massive amount of research to discover that Jerry Perenchio's motive, like so many other rich and influential men of all political stripes, is to support the causes that chiefly add to the wealth and influence of Jerry Perenchio.
Perenchio would need to have excellent assurance that his defection would have a long-term benefit should the very visible candidate he's banking win the race...or at the very least, he would need to be very secure in the knowledge that the campaign would have no direct negative impact upon his biggest operation.
Perenchio a sizable chunk of profit - cannot possibly be a serious consideration much less a highlight of any campaign he chooses to support.

 New Times Los Angeles, April 24, 1998 by Jill Stewart
I'm wondering what could possibly be going on in the mind of Jerry Perenchio, the 197th richest man in America, an Italian-American Republican who gave a stunning $500,000 to various Republicans in 1996 alone, and who controls Univision, the Spanish-language network that dominates the airwaves in many immigrant households here.
He is a well-known hedonist who made his early fortune as a partner of Norman Lear and built his wife a $5-million private golf course on a Malibu bluff, and who is now getting even richer by feeding Southern California's Mexican-American population a steady diet of the dumbest, cheapest, most prurient TV programming imaginable.
It is ironic that Perenchio, Cisneros, and company can get away with the same sort of discriminatory and narrow depictions under the guise that they are somehow "of the people." One leading Latino media figure says Perenchio and Cisneros "have everybody kow-towing to Univision as some sort of Latino icon.

Perenchio also is an incredibly active and versatile campaign contributor at the federal level.
On Monday, Perenchio earned a big return on his sizeable investments in the political process, as the Federal Communications Commission approved Univision's acquisition of Hispanic Broadcasting Corp.   This puts Perenchio's Univision in control of two-thirds of the Spanish-language television and radio markets in terms of annual advertising revenue.
