The Agency: William Morris and the Hidden History of Show Business by Frank Rose
Requirements: .PDF reader, 8.6 MB
Overview: For decades, hidden from the public eye, William Morris agents made the deals that determined the fate of stars, studios, and networks alike. Mae West, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Danny Thomas, Steve McQueen–the Morris Agency sold talent to anyone in the market for it, from the Hollywood studios to the mobsters who ran Vegas to the Madison Avenue admen who controlled television. While the clients took the spotlight, the agency operated behind the scenes, providing the grease that made show business what it’s become.

By the time THE AGENCY was pub­lished, in 1995, Mor­ris was in the midst of a long transfor­mation that would even­tu­al­ly see it recon­sti­tut­ed as Wil­liam Mor­ris En­deavor, a rad­ically different firm led by Ari Eman­uel, the agenting powerhouse who served as the inspiration for the hard-driv­ing agent in the HBO television series Entourage. All al­ong, the book has re­mained re­quired read­ing for new gen­era­tions of Holly­wood mail­room train­ees, in­deed for any­one with a hun­ger to un­der­stand how show busi­ness works and how it evolved, gradually yet inexorably, into what it is today.
