More information
Peters was born in Van Nuys, California, the son of Jack Peters, a cook who owned a Hollywood diner, and Helen (Pagano), who was a receptionist. He is of Cherokee (father) and Italian (mother) descent. His mother's family owned a renowned salon on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Jack Peters died when Jon was 10 years old and Helen later remarried.
As a child, Peters was recruited as an extra in Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 film The Ten Commandments as one of the Jews liberated by Moses. Peters was so enthralled by the experience that he refused to wash off his makeup when returning home.

Prior to becoming a producer, Peters first joined the family hairdressing business at Rodeo Drive where he made many film industry connections. He designed a short wig that Barbra Streisand wore for the comedy For Pete's Sake (1974); as a result, Peters and Streisand began a relationship. He later produced Streisand's studio album ButterFly (1974) and also gained a producing credit on Streisand's remake of A Star Is Born (1976), although the extent of his contribution has been disputed. He also worked alongside Peter Guber for the next 10 years, with whom he headed Sony Pictures from 1989 until 1991.
