What does Jeffrey Lurie own?

Jeffrey Robert Lurie, an American film producer, entrepreneur, and owner of the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League, was born on September 8, 1951.

Lurie, the son of Nancy (née Smith) and Morris John Lurie, was born into a Jewish household in Boston. One of the biggest operators of drive-in theaters in the US was his grandfather Philip Smith, who built the chain of movie theaters known as General Cinema.

Richard A. Smith is his uncle. Peter and Cathy are his two siblings. When Jeffrey was nine years old, on April 14, 1961, his father passed away at the age of 44.

General Cinema started buying bottling businesses, including a Pepsi bottling plant, in the late 1960s. Over time, General Cinema changed into Harcourt General Inc., a $3.7 billion company with 23,700 people globally and a base in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.

In its prime, it held several publishing houses, three insurance firms, a top-tier international consulting firm, and was the fourth-largest chain of movie theaters in the country. A minority stake in Carter Hawley Hale, which at the time ranked tenth among American clothing retailers behind Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman-Marcus, was acquired in 1984.
