Weintraub was born in Brooklyn, New York, USA to Jewish couple Rose Bass and Samuel Weintraub, a gem dealer. At a young age, he worked as a theater usher, waiter, mailroom clerk, and eventually as a talent scout at MCA Records, representing clients such as Joey Bishop, Jackson Browne, Jack Paar and Jane Morgan, whom he married.

This was followed by a string of movies such as “Oh, God!” “September 30, 1955”, “All Night Long”, and “Diner”, which launched the careers of Kevin Bacon, Mickey Rourke, and Paul Reiser. Weintraub also produced “The Karate Kid” in 1984, which landed him an appointment as chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of United Artists division under Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/United Artists (MGM/UA), which became short-lived due to differences with owner Kirk Kerkorian.
