The Powerhouse: An Unprecedented Look at Hollywood's Creative Artists Agency In 1975, five ambitious individuals left William Morris to form a talent agency that would revolutionize the entertainment industry. Creative Artists Agency (CAA) went on to represent some of the biggest names in film, television, comedy, music, and sports, shaping the landscape of Hollywood and beyond. This book tells the story of CAA's ascent, drawing on exclusive access to the men and women who built and battled with the agency. From its humble beginnings to its aggressive expansion into new markets, CAA's story is one of brilliance, ambition, and outrageous success. With unprecedented access to the key players, James Andrew Miller spins a unique and unforgettable tale of the agency's rise to power. This is a story of betrayal, power struggles, and the high-stakes world of entertainment. With new material and an updated afterword, Powerhouse is a fascinating and insightful look at the inner workings of one of the most influential agencies in the entertainment industry.
