The Wassermans ruled over twentiethcentury Hollywood by building MCA, the worlds largest talent agency, which ultimately devoured the global multibilliondollar conglomerate, Universal Studios. Hounded by antitrust prosecutors, attacked by lesser rivals, and betrayed by their own proteges, this supremely powerful couple vanquished their enemies while extending their influence beyond Sunset Strip, into governors mansions, Senate chambers, the White House, and international boardrooms. Lew was uberagent to legendary stars, a pioneering TV producer and a film mogul with a Midas touch. He was a boss to sixtytwo labor unions, a diplomat, political kingmaker, and cultural statesman. His wife and champion, Edie, was the daughter of a Cleveland mob attorney, the queen of Hollywoods social Alist, and Lews secret agent who used her cunning and charm to help him. For more than sixty years, the couple played a central role in shaping the Golden Age of TV, the glamorization of Las Vegas, the development of the blockbuster film (Psycho, Jaws, E.T.) and the elevation of the entertainment industry into Americas numberone export. Sharp also chronicles the Wassermans extraordinary philanthropy which made them the most generous of Hollywoods benefactors. 16 pages of black and white photographs are included.
