Synopsis

Legendary Hollywood deal maker and would-be studio head Lew Wasserman oversaw Music Corporation of America’s transition from talent agency to movie industry superpower, and blazed a trail in Hollywood’s transition from the studio system — where studios signed and developed in-house talent — to the package system, where agents assembled attractive combinations of talents on a picture-by-picture basis. A divisive character who never granted interviews, Wasserman changed Hollywood forever.

August 7th, 2006

According Amazon, there are nearly 900 DVDs being released this week, half of which are episodes of Charlie Rose.
