Description
Hit and Run tells the story of two film packagers who reinvented themselves as studio executives. Despite producing some of the most successful films in Hollywood, Jon Peters and Peter Guber's involvement was often limited to brief appearances on set. Veteran reporters Nancy Griffin and Kim Masters chronicle the rise of Jon Peters, from his humble beginnings as a hairdresser and juvenile delinquent, to his partnership with Peter Guber. Along the way, they describe the sex, drugs, and fistfights that accompanied their audacious sales job, which ultimately led to Sony agreeing to a record-breaking deal. The book also explores the history of Sony's decision to seek salvation in Hollywood, and how this gamble paid off - or backfired - for the company.
