An amazing - and astonishingly engaging - behind-the-curtain history of Hollywood's change over the past five years as seen through the organization at the heart of it all, from the number-one best-selling writer of Live from New York and Those Folks Have All the Fun. In 1975, five young employees of the sclerotic William Morris organization left to get started on their own strikingly innovative talent agency. Inside the years to come, Creative Artists Firm would vault from its origins in a tiny office on the last block of Beverly Hills to become the greatest and most imperial, groundbreaking, and star-studded organization Hollywood has ever before seen - a company whose tentacles now propagate across the world of films, music, tv set, technology, advertising, activities, and investment banking a lot more than previously imagined. Powerhouse is the attractive, no-holds-barred saga of this hot-blooded ascent. Attracting on unprecedented and exclusive access to the men and women who built and battled CAA as well as financial information nothing you've seen prior made public, acclaimed author Adam Andrew Miller spins a tale of boundless ambition, ruthless egomania, ceaseless empire building, drugs, gender, greed, and personal betrayal. Powerhouse is also a tale of prophetic brilliance, amazing artistry, singular genius, entrepreneurial courage, strategic daring, foxhole brotherhood, and how one firm utterly transformed the entertainment business. Listed below are the real Celebrity Wars - filled with a Death Celebrity - informed through the voices of these who had been actually there. Packed with scores of stars from movies, tv set, music, and activities as well as a tremendously compelling solid of agents, studio professionals, network chiefs, little league commissioners, hedge finance managers, tech CEOs, and multimedia tycoons, Powerhouse is itself a Hollywood blockbuster of the most spectacular sort.
