About this audiobook
In a 45-year career as a personal manager, Hollywood agent, producer, and studio head, Bernie Brillstein learned how to survive and prosper in Hollywood. And in Where Did I Go Right?, Brillstein's street-smart, funny, and thoroughly human account of his life in show business, he shares those secrets. With his trademark wit and candor, Bernie speaks out about a number of celebrities and agents. He recounts with pride how he built his impressive stable of clients, discusses his feud with Mike Ovitz, and reveals how he felt after passing on the leadership of his company to his partner, Brad Grey. He also relates stories about Jim Henson, Gilda Radner, and Lorne Michaels during the early days of Saturday Night Live. In this engaging memoir of showbiz life, Brillstein demonstrates one can swim with sharks but doesn't have to be one as he takes us behind the scenes of such hits as The Blues Brothers, Ghostbusters, and The Muppet Show.
