Background

[edit]

Jaffe was born into aJewish family[4] inNew Rochelle, New York, the son of film executiveLeo Jaffe.[5]

He received aBachelor of Science degree in economics fromthe Wharton School,University of Pennsylvania, in 1962.[6]

Career

[edit]

In 1962, Jaffe joinedSeven Arts Associates, and in 1964, he was named executive assistant to the president of Seven Arts.[6] AfterWarner Bros. purchased Seven Arts in 1967, Jaffe left to joinCBS for two years.[7]

After producingGoodbye Columbus, Jaffe was appointed executive vice president and chief operations officer ofParamount Pictures in 1970,[8] and within three months was named president. In 1971, he resigned to form an independent production company called Jaffilms,[6][7][9] which was associated withColumbia Pictures.[5] Jaffilms producedBad Company (1972) andThe Bad News Bears (1976). In 1977, Jaffe became executive vice president of worldwide production at Columbia Pictures.[1]

Jaffe returned to independent production withKramer vs. Kramer in 1979.[6] In 1983, in collaboration withSherry Lansing (then president ofTwentieth Century-Fox), he started the production companyJaffe-Lansing.[10][11][12] In 1991, he was named president and chief operating officer ofParamount Communications,[13] and dissolved his partnership with Lansing.[6] In 1992, he was named successor toBrandon Tartikoff as president ofParamount.[14]

WhenViacom purchased Paramount in 1994, Jaffe was forced out and filed a lawsuit against Paramount for $20 million in a stock option dispute.[15] The case was dismissed by the court in 1995, and in 1995 Jaffe's company Jaffilms entered into a production agreement withSony Pictures Entertainment.[6]

Veto of the Star TrekEnterprise complex in Las Vegas

[edit]

In or around 1992, a consortium of developers and city officials proposed a replica of the Star TrekEnterprise in Las Vegas. The giant scale model of the ship would include restaurants and tours but no hotel or casino. The proposal was approved by the president of Paramount and only needed Jaffe's approval as Paramount CEO. However, Jaffe rejected the proposal, believing that if unsuccessful, the building would be a permanent reminder of failure.[16]

Death

[edit]

Jaffe died at his home inRancho Mirage, California, on March 10, 2025 at the age of 84.[1]
