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.
