McElwaine's Passing
"A perennially tan, silver-haired agent was ...the kind of man other men liked and women loved -- a charming, martini-drinking, storytelling Irishman...gentlemanly yet gruff, easy-going yet stern...[part of] a showbiz breed that is too rapidly dying out along with their enormous repository of Industry history...scrupulously loyal to clients, he was also a tough, shrewd negotiator who knew the politics and the rituals of Hollywood as only a true insider can." -- from Nikki FInke's nicely written appreciation to 71 year-old Guy McElwaine, the Hollywood agent, producer and former studio chief who died early this morning.

I never met the man, but in Eszterhas' "Hollywood Animal," McElwaine comes across as a man of great integrity -- the most likable person in the book.
