Wald was the long-time manager for Australian singer Helen Reddy, with whom he was married for 18 years. During the ’70s and ’80s, the producer, manager and boxing promoter represented through his management company an array of well-known stars including Donna Summer, Sylvester Stallone, George Carlin, Marvin Gaye, Miles Davis, Roseanne Barr, Mike Tyson and Crosby, Stills and Nash.
In a 2011 interview with THR, Wald spoke about his years of drug addiction and at that time, more than two decades of sobriety. “I’m 25 years sober now. I never thought I could do that. And I don’t miss it,” he said. “I’m married now, 20 years, to the same person. I’m actually faithful. I’ve got a great kid; I pay attention. I’m present. I’ve got a good relationship with my older children. God bless them for being so tolerant.”
