Who Is Michael Ovitz?
Author: Michael Ovitz
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101601485
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
If you're going to read one book about Hollywood, this is the one. As the co-founder of Creative Artists Agency, Michael Ovitz earned a reputation for ruthless negotiation, brilliant strategy, and fierce loyalty to his clients. He reinvented the role of the agent and helped shape the careers of hundreds of A-list entertainers, directors, and writers, including Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Meryl Streep, Sean Connery, Bill Murray, Robin Williams, and David Letterman. But this personal history is much more than a fascinating account of celebrity friendships and bare-knuckled dealmaking. It's also an underdog's story: How did a middle-class kid from Encino work his way into the William Morris mailroom, and eventually become the most powerful person in Hollywood? How did an agent (even a superagent) also become a power in producing, advertising, mergers & acquisitions, and modern art? And what were the personal consequences of all those deals? After decades of near-silence in the face of controversy, Ovitz is finally telling his whole story, with remarkable candor and insight.

Michael's Messengers
Author: Lewis Allen Lambert
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1418409324
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 502
Book Description
In 1931, just three months after his mother's untimely death, 11-year-old Jacob Grunfeld and his father fled Poland on the eve of Hitler's rise to power in Germany. For eight years he lived the American dream in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland where he resided with his German-born father a noted thoracic surgeon. Fearing anti-Semitism, even in America, Jacob's father changed their surname to Meadows and young Jacob became Jack Meadows. During high school Jack learned to fly and discovered a passion that consumed him for the rest of his life. Jack was an extremely exceptional student both in the air and on the ground. Jack graduated college with honors at 18 years of age. In 1939, Jack Meadows, now an American citizen, returned to his native homeland to serve with the Polish Air Force in a futile attempt to halt Nazi aggression and the eventual murder of six million Jews. After Poland was defeated, Jack made his way to England where he joined the RAF. By early 1941, he became the leading fighter pilot among his peers in the Allied Air Forces and was a highly decorated hero of the Battle of Britain. In 1942, Jack was selected to command the 1st Polish Air Force Wing, one of the many foreign units that were an integral part of RAF. In 1939-40, when they were reconstituted in Britain, the Poles distinguished themselves and played a significant role in defeating the Luftwaffe while the Nazis were ravaging their native country. Jack met the love of his life who eventually left him, and met the passion of his life who disappointed him. The women he dearly loved abandoned him. He risked his life for a country that adopted him. He challenged the Luftwaffe whose fiercely skilled pilots had much in common with him. Though Jack was Polish by birth, American by choice and British by fate, he was a German in all other respects thanks to his father.

Excitement blossoms in Michael's heart when he learns the opportunity has arisen to perfect his magic at Thorn Valley, where no one knows him. He goes without hesitation. Being a king's son has its ups and downs. Fitting in is tough for Michael, the young wizard-prince. People either worship you or treat you with disdain, but Michael just wants to be one of the crowd. Meanwhile, mighty sorcerer James Barclay, Michael's unknown uncle, who runs Thorn Valley surreptitiously seeks his demise, invoking his right to the throne of the kingdom of Livingstone, which he claims Michael's father stole from him. With a false name and changed identity, he will use all the resources at his disposal to wrench the secret code of the king's power out of Michael in a cold-blooded attempt to kill them both. Meanwhile, only Michael knows the secret code of his father's powers and enjoys the protection of the almighty spirits of his kingdom. Michael's adventures begin when he befriends thirteen-year-old Lee at Thorn Valley. As they inadvertently wander from town and into the mystical world around it, the pair face life-threatening, heart-pounding trials by sorcerers, wizards, and mystical beasts.
