Harvey Weinstein, the former movie producer, was transported from prison to a hospital in New York late Sunday for heart surgery, according to his spokesperson. The 72-year-old was convicted of sex crimes in 2020 and received a 23-year prison sentence. Although his conviction was overturned in April, he may face a retrial in the future.
Weinstein remains in prison as he appeals another sex crimes conviction in Los Angeles, where he was sentenced to 16 years. Despite his health issues, a source mentioned that his scheduled court appearance on Thursday is expected to proceed unless there are unforeseen medical complications.
Throughout his career, Weinstein's voice and screen presence captivated audiences for decades. His influence in the entertainment industry was significant, with numerous successful films bearing his name.
