Rosenzweig was born to a Jewish family in Los Angeles[1] and graduated from Montebello High School in 1955.[2] His father was a schoolteacher and his mother a civil servant.[1] Rosenzweig graduated from University of Southern California.[1] His first job was in the mailroom at MGM although he soon became a publicist, a position he disliked.[1] With the aid of his father-in-law, Aaron Rosenberg, he secured a position as a producer.[1] He produced the 1980s television series Cagney & Lacey[3] written by his then wife Barbara Corday and Barbara Avedon. He also produced the 1960s series Daniel Boone, as well as a dozen episodes of Charlie's Angels.[4] He subsequently created and produced The Trials of Rosie O'Neill, which starred his third wife Sharon Gless and ran for two seasons in the early 1990s.
