"Andy" Heyward (born February 19, 1949) is the former Chairman and CEO of DIC Entertainment (now part of DHX Media), an animation production company.[1] He is currently CEO of Genius Brands International. Early lifeHeyward was born in New York City, New York, the son of Sylvia (née Block) and Louis M. "Deke" Heyward, who was vice president of development at leading entertainment companies such as Four Star International[2] and Barry & Enright Productions,[3] as well as senior vice president for leading cartoon company, Hanna-Barbera.[4] Professional lifeAndy Heyward's upbringing was robust with access to the entertainment elite, including his first start as an assistant for legendary animator Joe Barbera of Hanna-Barbera on Yogi's All-Star Laff Olympics.[5] In 1986, Heyward took the lead of DIC Enterprises after he and other investors performed a buyout of majority shares owned by Radio-Television Luxembourg (now RTL Group, owned by Bertelsmann[6]). He subsequently bought the remaining shares owned by Jean Chalopin, founder of the French company DIC Audiovisuel.[7][8] Heyward's most successful years, while he was in charge of DIC, were prior to his father's passing.[9] Heyward eventually sold a majority interest in DIC to Capital Cities/ABC in 1993. In 2000, with two venture capital firms, Heyward re-purchased DIC Entertainment.[10] On June 20, 2008, Heyward announced that he was selling DIC Entertainment to Cookie Jar Group.[11] In 2009, he founded A Squared Entertainment (A2) with his wife, Amy.[12] In 2013, the company merged with Genius Brands to form Genius Brands International, with Heyward serving as CEO.[13] References1. ^{{cite web|last=Andreeva |first=Nellie |url=http://www.deadline.com/2011/03/arnold-schwarzenegger-teams-with-former-dic-ceo-andy-heyward-for-tv-series/ |title=Ex-Governator Partners For TV Toon Series – |publisher=Deadline.com |date= |accessdate=2011-04-07}} 2. ^[https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/2002/04/08/louis-m-heyward/b291a09b-c5f2-47f8-898a-11023397c2a8/ Obituary at The_Washington_Post 8 April 2002] accessed 28 January 2017 3. ^Obituary at Los_Angeles_Times 7 April 2002 accessed 28 January 2017 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.filmreference.com/film/1/Andy-Heyward.html |title=Andy Heyward Biography (1949-) |publisher=Filmreference.com |date=1949-02-19 |accessdate=2011-04-07}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Cartoon Producer goes digital with Stan Lee, Martha Stewart|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/companies/management/entre/2010-10-09-asquared-andy-heyward_N.htm|accessdate=January 28, 2017|work=Broadcasting and Cable|publisher=USA_Today|date=Oct 10, 2010}} 6. ^{{citation needed|title=Bertelsmann holdings and news|url=https://www.bertelsmann.com/divisions/rtl-group/#st-1|accessdate=January 28, 201|work=Entertainment Conglomerates|publisher=Bertelsmann|date=December 2016}} 7. ^{{cite news|last=Adelson |first=Andrea |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1987/12/30/business/business-people-for-maker-of-cartoons-a-chance-to-go-public.html?scp=11&sq=the%20real%20ghostbusters&st=cse |title=BUSINESS PEOPLE - For Maker of Cartoons, A Chance to Go Public |publisher=The New York Times |date=1987-12-30 |accessdate=2016-01-27}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Bates|first1=James|title=Huge Debt Keeps Pressure on DIC to Keep Turning Out Animated TV Hits: Cartoon Firm Deals Way to Top|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1988-03-08/business/fi-728_1_tv-hits|accessdate=May 19, 2016|work=Los Angeles Times|date=March 8, 1988}} 9. ^{{cite news|title=Cookie Jar Entertainment, DIC agree to merge|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cookie-jar-entertainment-dic-agree-114286|accessdate=January 28, 2017|work=Broadcasting and Cable|publisher=The_Hollywood_Reporter|date=Jun 20, 2008}} 10. ^{{cite news|url=http://variety.com/2000/tv/news/bain-backing-buyout-of-dic-1117786555/|title=Bain backing buyout of DIC|date=Sep 18, 2000|work=Variety|accessdate=2009-08-15 | first=Carl | last=DiOrio}} 11. ^{{cite news|title=Cookie Jar, DIC Entertainment to Merge|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/programming/cookie-jar-dic-entertainment-merge/32594|accessdate=November 3, 2014|work=Broadcasting and Cable|publisher=NewBay Media|date=Jun 20, 2008}} 12. ^{{cite news|last=Truitt|first=Brian|title=Meet Stan Lee's newest super-team, 'Super Seven' |url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/comics/2010-02-22-super7-stanlee-st_N.htm |newspaper=USA TODAY|date=2010-02-22 |deadurl=no |accessdate=10 April 2014}} 13. ^{{cite web|last=Bond |first=Paul |url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/genius-brands-merges-andy-heywards-656559 |title=Genius Brands Merges With Andy Heyward's A Squared Entertainment |publisher=Hollywood Reporter |date=2013-11-15 |accessdate=2015-11-16}} External links
