			===The final years===

	Weiner became a fixture in his Maryland neighborhood. He was one of the first to wear blue jeans during the day, some 30 years before it became a mainstream fashion statement. He talked little of his ring career. On a rare occasion, he'd work in uncredited roles as a boxer in such movies as [[Body and Soul\|''Body and Soul'']] and [[The Harder They Fall\|''The Harder They Fall'']]. In 1958, the man who had knocked out world lightheavyweight champions [[Battling Levinsky]] and [[Paul Berlenbach]] in one round, died at age 52.
