- catalog abstract ""Producer/agent Martin Jurow's sixty-year career in show business encompasses a glittering array of celebrities he represented, worked with, and befriended. He was instrumental in casting Frank Sinatra in From Here to Eternity, Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther, and Shirley MacLaine in Terms of Endearment. During Hollywood's Golden Era, he was executive assistant to legendary producers Jack L. Warner and Hal Wallis. He was behind the scenes and privy to fascinating stories about such cinematic gems as Casablanca, On the Waterfront, and The Fugitive Kind, and was professionally involved with such Broadway smash hits as My Fair Lady, Oklahoma!, South Pacific, Guys and Dolls, The King and I, and The Music Man. He helped shape the early careers of legends such as Elvis Presley, Burt Lancaster, and Kirk Douglas. He joined Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz on their honeymoon, and he remains a close personal friend of Katharine Hepburn." "This is an insider's view of show business, rich with glamour and intrigue, but free of bitterness and rancor. Written in collaboration with Philip Wuntch, Jurow's memoir captures his inimitable power of persuasion as well as the fascinating milieu in which he exercised it."--Jacket.".
