Jerry Weintraub on Soviet Funerals, Matt Damon, and Waking up Coated in Candy

Veteran Hollywood producer Jerry Weintraub recently visited The Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco, and he regaled the audience with stories about sitting next to a rogue's gallery of Soviet-era dictators at a state funeral, getting pranked by George Clooney, working with the Ocean's Eleven (and Twelve, and ...) crowd, and more.
