Mark Litwak provides the most comprehensive look at the film business since Hortense Powdermaker's Hollywood, The Dream Factory, published thirty-five years ago. Using interviews with 200 film insiders, including Jane Fonda, Barry Diller, Robert Altman, Martin Sheen, Robert Evans and Paul Newman - to name only a few of the writers, directors, performers, agents, producers and journalist he quotes at length - Litwak leads us through the maze of power and politics in Hollywood. In the process, he cites specific examples, tears down myths, relates anecdotes and reveals the inner workings of the industry.
