...more and more often there would be tearful phone calls for aid: Les had dropped Sue and couldn't lift her again. She became incontinent and needed a catheter. Nurses had to be hired to bathe her, and still she developed cellulitis, which attacked her skin. Joanne would smell Sue before she saw her. "It's like Sue was trapped inside this rotting body," she remembers. "All I could think of was, she's inside there somewhere...

Ovitz and CAA have given their trade glamour and stature of a kind that was unimaginable a generation ago, but they still can't order a movie or TV show into production; they are still only middle people, not buyers. On the other hand, Ovitz has turned down the top job at Columbia...
