American Dream Machine is the storyline of two talent agents and their three troubled boys, heirs to Hollywood royalty. From the sweeping narrative about fathers and sons, the movie business, and the sundry sea changes that have shaped Hollywood and, by extension, American life.Beau Rosenwald - overweight, not particularly handsome, and improbably charismatic - arrives in Los Angeles in 1962 with nothing but an ill-fitting suit and a pair of expensive brogues. Because of the late 1970s he has helped found the most successful agency in Hollywood. With the eyes of his son, we watch Beau and his partner go to war, waging a seismic battle that redraws the lines of an entire industry. We watch Beau rise and fall and rise again, in accordance with the cultural transformations that dictate the fickle world of movies. We watch Beau's partner, the enigmatic and cerebral Williams Farquarsen, struggle to contain himself, to control his impulses and consolidate his power. And we watch two generations of men fumble and thrive over the LA landscape, learning for themselves the shadows and costs exacted by success and failure.
