Michael Eisner, (born March 7, 1942, Mount Kisco, N.Y., U.S.), U.S. entertainment executive. He was employed at ABC-TV (1966–76) before becoming president of Paramount Pictures (1976–84), and he served as head of the Disney Co. from 1984 to 2005. Eisner revived the fortunes of all three companies but was perhaps best known for his work at Disney. He reestablished the company as a major movie studio with films such as Pretty Woman (1990) and restored Disney’s reputation for classic animation with Beauty and the Beast (1991) and The Lion King (1994), which also became hit Broadway musicals. He also expanded the company into fields such as television, publishing, home video, and cruise ship travel. Eisner was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 2012.
