Peter Meyer, a respected Hollywood manager known for guiding stars like Tom Hanks and Kevin Costner, passed away at 68 after a five-year battle with sarcoma. More than a dealmaker, Meyer was a mentor and trusted confidant whose warmth, integrity, and belief in storytelling shaped careers and friendships alike. His influence reached far beyond contracts, leaving a lasting imprint on the industry he loved. A memorial service will be held June 13 in Santa Monica.
As Hollywood reflects on Meyer’s legacy, Kevin Costner has drawn attention for a deeply personal professional move. Amid an ongoing divorce, Costner has invested an estimated $50 million— even mortgaging property—into Horizon, an ambitious Western film series. The project reflects his long-standing passion for the genre and his desire to tell authentic, enduring stories.
Together, these moments highlight Hollywood’s human side: personal loss, creative risk, and resilience. Meyer’s compassion and Costner’s conviction serve as reminders that behind fame and success are deeply personal journeys driven by purpose and belief.
