Under his guidance, the agency created a television department in the early 1950s, where he persuaded many skeptical Hollywood stars to make the move to the new medium. Under his influence on the late 1970s the agency began representing politicians, most notably among them President Gerald Ford. Much of what came to be known as American popular culture had its epicenter at William Morris, and Norman’s fingerprints can be found on most of it. As actress Kim Novak has said, “I have never known anyone who was so eager, so interested, or so positive.”Country/Region of Manufacture: USItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 327gContributor: David Geffen (Foreword by)Genre: BiographyRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
