“If Hollywood was Mt Olympus Lew Wassermann was Zeus” said the late Jack Valenti, former president of the Motion Picture Association of America. Very rarely especially in today’s entertainment business atmosphere does any one individual embody an industry in the way Lew Wassermann did. Lew began as an usher at a Cleveland theatre, to working directly under Dr. Jules Stein the founder of Music Corporation of America (MCA). Lew Wassermann was instrumental in building MCA into the Multi Billion dollar company it would eventually become and he was responsible for thousands of careers in and out of Hollywood, most notably Ronald Regan’s, Stephen Spielberg just to name a few.
