Summary

From watching his colleague get shot in the testicles by a jealous producer to running Hollywood’s most successful television studio, Harris Katleman had a front row seat in the development of the television industry. Destined to become a classic account of the business side of entertainment, this book shares what really happened in the early careers of Hollywood stars and the development of iconic programs. 
Through a number of hilarious accounts, Harris Katleman shares his journey from office boy to talent agent to television producer, and finally to studio head at both MGM and Twentieth Century Fox. Along the way, we meet industry giants including Rupert Murdoch, Bob Iger, Barry Diller, Marvin Davis, Kirk Kerkorian, Mark Goodson, and Lew Wasserman. 
This goes beyond the story of a life in Hollywood. It is the story of crucial developments—how motion picture film libraries were opened for television licensing, how The Simpsons was birthed, and much more. It is also a collection of vital life lessons for anyone aspiring to establish a career in Hollywood.The names are so famous and the stories so lively that this book reads like it was written about today’s Hollywood.

    The Dream Enabler Reference Guide

    Like most lawyers, I have had others attach labels to me over the years, including: (a) the baby faced assassin (b) the lawyer to get when you don’t want to deal with a lawyer (c) the ‘www’ (why the wealthy win) guy. The one that has meant the most to me was coined by a small business operator I helped guarantee she survived and ultimately prospered during a difficult start up phase. She called me ‘The Dream Enabler’. This book shares many of the key learnings I have been fortunate to discover while having unprecedented access to some of Australia’s most successful people. As set out in the foreword to ‘The Dream Enabler’ book, for as long as I can remember, the obsessive study of great thinkers has been my favourite pastime. This Reference Guide is designed to be a companion to The Dream Enabler book. It provides a framework to explore and achieve momentum in relation to each of the key concepts, leveraging the foundations explained in detail in The Dream Enabler.
