Scion of a Neapolitan hairdressing clan (the Paganos), seventh grade graduate Jon Peters entered the family business at age 14 and had established a highly lucrative beauty parlor empire (and reputation with the ladies) before gaining entrance to the film world as personal manager (and lover) to Barbra Streisand.
Peters launched one of the most successful production ventures of the 1980s when he joined with Peter Guber in 1982 to form the Guber-Peters Company.
Their first deal with Guber-Peters guaranteed 40 percent of whatever profit Guber and Peters received and also promised Uslan and Melniker "shall be accorded credit as the producers of the picture." The project languished for years until one day the trade papers reported "Batman" was going into production with Guber and Peters as producers.
