GLITTER & MIGHT: The Lew Wasserman Story

An original podcast from Audacy and Cadence 13

For 50 years, Lew Wasserman ruled Hollywood from the shadows, a symbol of ruthless power in a dark suit, oversized eyeglasses, and a permanent tan. He oversaw seismic innovations in actors’ earnings, in the rise of television, in blockbuster movies, in the transformation of film studios into theme parks.  The mogul was a critical figure in ending the famed labor strikes of 1960 and 1981. Even more, Wasserman connected Hollywood to political power in a way that endures to this day. Every president from Kennedy to Clinton took his calls. And he was as comfortable dealing with gangsters as with politicians.
