Powerhouse: The Untold Story of Hollywood's Creative Artists Agency

Description

A New York Times bestsellerAn astonishing—and astonishingly
entertaining—history of Hollywood’s transformation over the past five decades
as seen through the agency at the heart of it all, from the 1 bestselling co-
author of Live from New York and Those Guys Have All the Fun.The movies you
watch, the TV shows you adore, the concerts and sporting events you
attend—behind the curtain of nearly all of these is an immensely powerful and
secretive corporation known as Creative Artists Agency. Started in 1975, when
five bright and brash employees of a creaky William Morris office left to open
their own, strikingly innovative talent agency, CAA would come to
revolutionize the entertainment industry, and over the next several decades
its tentacles would spread aggressively throughout the worlds of movies,
television, music, advertising, and investment banking. Powerhouse is the
fascinating, no-holds-barred saga of that ascent. Drawing on unprecedented and
exclusive access to the men and women who built and battled with CAA, as well
as financial information never before made public, author James Andrew Miller
spins a tale of boundless ambition, ruthless egomania, ceaseless empire
building, greed, and personal betrayal. It is also a story of prophetic
brilliance, magnificent artistry, singular genius, entrepreneurial courage,
strategic daring, foxhole brotherhood, and how one firm utterly transformed
the entertainment business.Here are the real Star Wars—complete with a Death
Star—told through the voices of those who were there. Packed with scores of
stars from movies, television, music, and sports, as well as a tremendously
compelling cast of agents, studio executives, network chiefs, league
commissioners, private equity partners, tech CEOs, and media tycoons,
Powerhouse is itself a Hollywood blockbuster of the most spectacular sort.
