“I was ruthless about it. It was all stars. I would look around my living room at all of them and even I’d be impressed with myself. … I was tactless, contemptuous, and made enemies needlessly. If I had to do it over again, I’d take on a bit more of the personality of [former Paramount Pictures chief] Sherry Lansing, who has the ability to make people feel good. I rolled in there like a tank, but in any revolution you have to do something to get their attention. Women don’t have to act like that these days.” – the legendary Sue Mengers, one of the entertainment industry’s most powerful talent agents, who represented Hollywood’s biggest stars in the 1970s and ’80s. Mengers died Saturday night at home in Beverly Hills after a long illness. She was 79. (via LA Times; photo: Mengers sandwiched between What’s Up, Doc? stars Barbra Streisand and Ryan O’Neal)
