HIDDEN TALENT: THE EMERGENCE OF HOLLYWOOD AGENTS by Tom Kemper

"A landmark volume." -- Toby Miller

In this first-ever history of
Hollywood agents, Tom Kemper mines agency archives to present an
insider's view on their tooth-and-claw rise to power during the studio
era. Existing studies
characterize agents as a product of the 1950s, but Kemper revises the
record to show how agents emerged from the primordial film industry
during the late 1920s and carved themselves a permanent niche.
