"That's when it hit me. The voices of my teachers were clear. And what they said to me changed the course of not just my work, but my life. Their advice led me to discover and represent tremendous talent, pioneer new ways of doing business, and have my work recognized throughout the entertainment industry. More importantly, their guidance has made me a better husband, and father, and friend. What I realized that day is what this book is all about."Harry Abrams (Founder and Former Chairman/CEO, Abrams Artists Agency) delivers a detail-oriented blueprint of how to succeed in the talent agency business whether you are just getting started or a seasoned professional. Citing specific examples of how he came to work with greats just as Eddie Albert presenting a commercial spot for The Lipton Tea Company when Harry was just out of the MCA mailroom to household names including Jennifer Lopez and Liam Neeson, Harry presents a step-by-step outline of his experience helping his clients achieve their best. Integrity and trust play crucial roles in developing talent and business relationships no matter what may be happening in a turbulent industry or economy. Staying true to these maxims help provide a foundation for building success.

I have met and worked with many entertainers in my life. The idea of this book came to me one evening while visiting Cuba. I expand on this in the chapter 'Finding a seed inside Havana.' Also, the wonderful actress Doris Roberts came for dinner one evening and wrote a letter that stated, "An extraordinary cook who takes pleasure in inviting his friends to his home for an evening of great food, wine and interesting conversation. The table is so beautiful that you hate to sit down to mess it up. The food that he cooks takes time, thoughtfulness and knowledge and he spends hours preparing it. Did I mention the aroma that greets you when you walk into his house?" Havana and Doris's thoughtful letter inspired me to take those generous comments to a new plateau. With all the celebrities that crossed my path through social means or at work, how would I embrace and seduce them with the cuisine I have discovered through a lifetime of preparation? Through my imagination and experiences I have put together recipes that would resonate with these wonderful talents. With Jacqueline Kennedy with whom I had afternoon tea in my youth, I would have prepared as she was marrying Onassis, a Greek cuisine-Greek lemon soup, Moussaka and the celebratory cookies 'Kourambiedes.' George Clooney, for his love of Italy-Branzino fish. Barbara Streisand and Shirley Maclaine-Rack of Lamb, because they love the best in cuisine. Joan Rivers-Scallops and Vongole, (because it sounds delicate with a vengeance). Omar Sharif-'Lamb Shanks with Couscous' and Champagne with dessert because that's what he always shared when we worked together. For Elizabeth Taylor-Thai Snapper and a special dessert from my family's heritage, because she reigned supreme.My endeavor is to continue this magnificent expression of life by giving back to those that made a difference.
