Jack Milton Warner (March 16, 1916 - April 1, 1995) was a film producer and son of Warner Bros. chief Jack Warner.[1] Warner graduated from the University of Southern California and worked in the short-subject department of the Warner Brothers studio in Burbank. He joined the Warner Brothers distribution company after World War II, and later became a producer.
Among the early films he produced were "The Hasty Heart" (1949), starring Richard Todd and Ronald Reagan, The Admiral Was a Lady and The Man Who Cheated Himself (1950) starring Lee J. Cobb and Jane Wyatt. Warner married Barbara Richman in 1948, with whom he had two daughters, Betsy and Debbie.
Warner was dismissed by his father in 1958. The two had become estranged after the elder Warner divorced his first wife, Irma, Jack junior's mother. Jack junior was never reconciled to his father's new wife Ann. The son learned from trade papers that he had lost his job.
Warner later wrote a novel, "Bijou Dream," that he based loosely on his relationship with his father, who died in 1978.[2]
