"Lew Wasserman was the elusive, tyrannical head of the Music Corporation of American (MCA) until the 1990s - and for more than a half century the most powerful and feared man in show business. His career spanned the entire history of the movies, from the silent era to the present, and he was guru to Alfred Hitchcock, Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, and Jimmy Stewart, as well as to a new generation of filmmakers beginning with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.
For more than four years, Dennis McDougal interviewed interviewed over 350 people who knew the man with the giant dark horn-rimmed glasses - colleagues, relatives, rivals - and drew on tens of thousands of pages of documents to produce this extraordinary and first-ever portrait of a legend and his times, a book that the New York Daily News called "a bombshell.""--BOOK JACKET.
