1. Jon first proposed to Pamela nearly 30 years ago. Shortly after meeting in the mid-80s, Jon popped the question, but Anderson turned him down citing their age difference. Jon remembers telling her, “‘In 30 years, our age difference won’t mean so much.’”

2. Jon’s marriage to Pamela marks his fifth turn at the altar. Both Jon and Pamela celebrated their fifth weddings when they tied the knot at the Jan. 20 ceremony. Jon divorced his first wife Henrietta Zampitella in 1966 and had one son with his second wife, the Oscar-nominated actress Lesley Ann Warren before their marriage ended in 1977. He had two daughters, Caleigh and Skye, with his third wife Christina Forsyth-Peters in a marriage that lasted six years before his fourth go at the alter in 2001 when he married Mindy Peters. He had one daughter with Mindy, named Kendyl.

3. Before he was a Hollywood heavy hitter, Jon worked as a hairdresser on Rodeo Drive. His father was a cook who owned a Hollywood diner, until his untimely death when Jon was 10. His mother’s side of the family owned a renowned salon on Rodeo Drive – so he joined the family business. It was here that Jon made his first film industry connections, eventually designing a wig that Barbra Streisand wore in the 1974 film For Pete’s Sake.

4. He had a torrid love affair with Barbara Streisand for 12 years. After meeting on the set of For Pete’s Sake, the pair began a passionate affair that lasted more than a decade. Jon produced Streisand’s studio album Butterfly, and gained a producing credit on the 1976 remake of A Star Is Born. Although their relationship ended, and Jon had two daughters with his third wife Christine Forsyth-Peters soon afterward, he named Barbara the godmother of his two girls.

5. Jon went on to produce some of the industry’s biggest hits. Most recently, he produced the Lady Gaga-led remake of A Star Is Born however he had a string of successes in the ’80s and ’90s with classics like Flashdance, The Witches of Eastwick, Batman and Batman Returns. He also produced the 2006 film Superman Returns and executive-produced the 2013 Zack Snyder-helmed flick Man of Steel, although he was reportedly banned from the set by producer Christopher Nolan.
