Biography

Michael Lynne graduated from Brooklyn College (1961) and held a Juris Doctor from Columbia University.[1][2] After a chance encounter with law-school acquaintance Shaye, who had subsequently founded New Line, Lynne joined the company as outside legal counsel in the early 1980s.[3] In 1990, he was appointed president and chief operating officer of the studio, and in 2001, he was made co-chairman and co-chief executive officer.

Lynne started to collect wine and bought two vineyards on Long Island in 1999 and 2000.[4]

In February 2008, Shaye and Lynne were dismissed from New Line in advance of its restructuring as a unit of Warner Bros.[3] That June, the two formed a new independent film company called Unique Features.[5]

Lynne died of cancer on March 24, 2019, aged 77.[6][7]
