But the real heavy lifting took place during a secret meeting at Creative Artists Agency partner Bryan Lourdâs home. Attending were Verrone and chief WGA negotiator Dave Young along with Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger and (Fox) News Corp.âs No. 2 Peter Chernin, among others. Lourd refuses to comment on what went on, but he deserves tremendous credit for getting both sides talking again. No one should be naive enough to think that either side would go back into talks if it didnât suit their current agendas. But certainly anyone who knows Lourd, one of the most successful Hollywood agents ever, is well aware that the honey-tongued CAA Southerner can talk anybody into anything, even his rivals (www.laweekly.com....men/17755/)
The secret confab was the culmination of days of back-channel efforts by two agents. (I broke the news on my DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com.) As I reported then, a partner in a major tenpercentery was having âmuch conversation â with WGA negotiating committee topper Dave Young. I can tell you now this was Lourd. At the same time, United Talent Agencyâs Jim Berkus was talking to AMPTP president Counter. Berkus had made the first phone call to set up a November 8 meeting at the WGAâs Fairfax headquarters between the WGA and key partners in Hollywoodâs five major agencies. âThe first call went from Jim Berkus to [William Morrisâ] Jim Wiatt to [Endeavorâs] Rick Rosen to [CAAâs] Bryan Lourd to [ICMâs] Chris Silbermann,â a source says. With negotiations at a standstill, the agency partners offered to do anything possible as a âcollective resource. (www.laweekly.com....men/17755/)

Much about the early life of James Bond remains murky, befitting a secret agent . Even the date of his birth is in dispute early accounts suggest various dates in the 1920s, implying that modern-day chronicles of his exploits recount the events of decades past. His Scottish father worked for a British arms manufacturer and was killed while mountain climbing along with Bond's Swiss mother when James was eleven. The orphan attended several prestigious schools before enlisting in the Royal Navy during World War II, where he rose to the rank of commander. Following the War , he entered the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) , also known as MI6, short for 6th Branch of the Military Intelligence Directorate. His first two assignments were assassinations, which led to his permanent designation as a double-0 agent, one with a license to kill in the line of duty. As the seventh such agent, he was designated Agent 007. (entertainment.h....s-bond.htm)
