About this deal

I’m delighted that this book will celebrate a man who was such a vital part of the filmmaking that contributed so much our country’s cultural life.

Mayer, in MGM studio's PR department through the turbulent 60s and 70s with the Rat Pack and others.Jim Mahoney – When starting out at MGM, the most important break or “hit” you could get was for the names of your clients to appear in national columns like Hedda Hopper, Walter Winchell, Earl Wilson, Louella Parsons, and the Herald Express’ Harrison Carrol, who I worked for as a stringer for a couple years. At his funeral, a handful of them told the room that if it hadn’t been for Wasso, they wouldn’t be alive today. He was brilliant as many of his clients, and the media will attest and everyone loved him – especially his quirky sense of humor.

Industrious from a young age, he would sneak onto film sets to sell colas to cast and crew members, netting a profit of 2 cents per bottle. He was fired by golfing buddy Jim Garner for sending his wife (Garner’s) the wrong color shoes in Paris. Many of the people that worked for me over the years went on to very successful careers in the agency, studio, and network businesses. Take out ads in Variety and the Hollywood Reporter announcing your new business and location and send me the bill. On the other hand if we’re talking about something other than the entertainment industry, I couldn’t have gone wrong following my father into his line of work.

Louella Parsons loved it because it featured major A-list box-office stars, and plus, she was a sucker for anything “Gable.
