Alan Greisman’s career journey

In more than 30 years, Alan Greisman has produced movies starring some of the biggest names in Hollywood. His career began way back in the eighties when movie producers didn’t get too much credit for their work, compared to the actors and actresses of the time. The Western Texas Rangers for Miramax Films and Earthly Possessions for HBO Films, both starring Susan Sarandon, were Greisman’s most notable works as of 2003. He started off as a freelance producer but was shortly appointed president of Spelling Entertainment’s movie division.

He produced the popular comedy Soapdish while he was employed by Spelling, earning its star Kevin Kline a Golden Globe nomination. Later, he rose to the position of president at Rastar Productions. Greisman worked on all facets of production in this role, including development, casting, budgeting and financing, marketing, and distribution. Additionally, he was the producer of the Richard Gere-starring, Mike Figgis-directed love drama Mr. Jones. In 2002, Alan Greisman and Rob Reiner decided to become production partners, making the movie, Alex & Emma – their first project together.

He was chosen to lead Savoy Pictures in 1992. Over fifteen motion features were made and distributed by Savoy while he worked there. Greisman oversaw the creation and distribution of each of these movies. Some of his career highlights at Savoy Pictures include Robert De Niro’s breathtaking directorial debut, A Bronx Tale, and Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger’s Oscar-nominated Shadowlands. For the past decade, Greisman has slowed down on his work and doesn’t seem to be producing anymore.

Some of his best production credits include the movies featuring Sally Field and Michael Caine, Surrender with Julia Roberts, Loose Cannons with Dan Ackroyd and Gene Hackman, Fletch and Fletch Lives with Chevy Chase, Windy City with Kate Capshaw, HeartBeat with Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek.

Sally Field’s second husband is Alan Greisman whom she married in 1984. There were a few before him, however. From 1968 through 1975, Sally Field was wed to Steven Craig, her first spouse. Her first marriage was eventually dissolved in 1975 after reaching the point of separation in 1973. Following the dissolution of her first marriage, Sally started dating again. From 1976 through 1980, she was in a relationship with Burt Reynolds.

They dated intermittently until 1982 after splitting up in 1980. After Burt, Sally met Alan on the set of a movie in 1983 and they got along perfectly. Soon after she met him, Sally and Alan started dating after her last relationship ended. Before getting married, they were engaged for almost 11 months. Before their divorce, their marriage lasted for nearly 9 years as well. Nobody has an idea about what might have caused the couple’s split to date.

Together, Alan and Sally have one child

A son named Samuel was born during Alan and Sally’s marriage. He was born in the United States of America on December 2, 1987. Sam is a filmmaker, writer, and producer, following in the footsteps of his parents. He is very close to his mother and is equally famous as she is. As a result of his brief stints in the spotlight, Sam Greisman-Field has been making waves in the entertainment world. Sam is openly gay.

When he was 19 years old, he came out of the closet with the support of his family. At some point, his mother Sally even attempted to arrange for her kid to meet Adam Rippon, who was a U.S. Olympic athlete. Sam even wrote a screenplay for a movie that told the tale of his coming out. He is very outspoken about his sexuality and has even been linked to Armand de la Torre. According to sources, the couple’s relationship began in 2019, as evidenced by the fact that they only began to publicly display their love in June 2019.

Alan Greisman is not as Rich as his ex-wife, but he is comfortable

According to reports, film producer Alan Greisman earned a total of around $1.5 million over the course of his career. He is credited with directing a few films, and he is also known for playing Bob Elden in the film Satisfaction. On the other hand, Sally Field, Alan’s ex-wife, has a net worth of $55 million and has had a successful career as both an actress and a screenwriter.

He is pretty private about his love life

Since Alan and Sally divorced in 1994, he has not been associated with another romance or marriage. Even if 77-year-old Alan had a romance after divorcing Sally Field, it wasn’t made public because he hasn’t been as open about his private life. He has also been private about other aspects of his life as well, choosing to stay completely out of the spotlight, except for the rare occasions that he posts on his Twitter account.
