TRIVIA:

After receiving an unprecedented rebuke from shareholders in 2004 with 43% of shares being withheld for his re-election, he stepped down as the Chairman of the Board, and continued to hold the position of CEO.
Son, Joe Eisner, currently attending UC Berkeley.
While he was an executive at Paramount, he said the best script he ever read was _Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)_ (qv).
When dissatisfied with his work at NBC, he mailed out hundreds of resum�s to further his career. He received just one response - from 'Barry Diller' (qv) at ABC.
Father of 'Breck Eisner' (qv) and 'Eric Eisner (I)' (qv).
When 'Barry Diller' (qv) 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. Two years later, half of the top box-office were Paramount productions, and Paramount was the top movie studio.
Worked his way up from an mid-level manager to the VP of Prime Time Production at ABC (1966-1976).
In the early 1990s, after he cashed out some of the options he enjoyed which were tied to the performance of the Walt Disney Co., he walked away with over $100 million in cash.
