The Business

Moguls; TV and the Theater

Hosted by Claude Brodesser-Akner Jun. 27, 2005 Entertainment
Big, brash and brilliant, Harvey Weinstein is cut in the mold of yesterday's movie moguls.  We give props to two of his attitude ancestors: Louis B. Mayer and Lew Wasserman.  Then, we go to the theater to make TV as the networks turn to playwrights for new ideas.
