Powerhouse

In The Powerhouse, bestselling co-author of Live from New York and Those Guys Have All the Funtells the astonishing—and astonishingly entertaining—history of CAA’s transformation over the past five decades as seen through the agency at the heart of it all. Beginning with CAA’s founding in 1975 by five bright and brash employees of a creaky William Morris office who left to open their own, remarkably innovative talent agency, this is a story of how that company rose to revolutionize the entertainment industry and over the next several decades its tentacles spread aggressively throughout the worlds of movies, television, music, advertising, and investment banking.
