Peter Meyer, a towering figure in Hollywood known for his keen eye and dedicated management of some of the biggest stars—Tom Hanks, Kevin Costner, and many others—passed away at the age of 68 after a long, courageous five-year battle with sarcoma.

His death has left a significant void in the entertainment industry, not only because of his impact on the careers he nurtured but also because of the warmth, integrity, and genuine care he brought into every deal and every relationship. A memorial service is scheduled for June 13 in Santa Monica, a fitting location that reflects the close ties he maintained to the heart of Hollywood and the community that admired him.

Peter was more than a manager; he was a mentor, a confidant, and a steadfast supporter who believed deeply in the power of storytelling and the importance of nurturing talent. His clients often spoke of his sharp wit and gentle guidance, his ability to see potential where others might overlook it, and his unwavering commitment to their careers—not just as business dealings, but as personal friendships. He was an advocate not only for the stars’ success but for their well-being, often offering words of encouragement during difficult times that helped sustain careers over decades.
