She became a talent agent in 1963 when Tom Korman, a former colleague, formed his own agency. Her first client was stage actress JULIE HARRIS and during her career she represented many of Hollywood's leading actors and entertainers. Among these were BARBRA STREISAND, CANDICE BERGEN, MICHAEL CAINE, DYAN CANNON, CHER, JOAN COLLINS, FAYE DUNAWAY, BOB FOSSE, GENE HACKMAN, ALI MacGRAW, STEVE McQUEEN, MIKE NICHOLS, NICK NOLTE, RYAN O'NEAL, BURT REYNOLDS, CYBILL SHEPHERD and GORE VIDAL.

Only featured players." ..... CREDITS: Book by JOHN LOGAN; Sets
