They Are Flesh Peddlers

But that’s not specific to agents.

That’s all of HR, right?

What an odd way to say it though…

THIS IS A book about Hollywood, a town that supports an ethnic group called agents. One of the best of these agents, Ron Meyer, now head of Universal—soon, I guess, to move to Comcast—the studio, that is, not Ron Meyer—once declared correctly that talent agents are mainly flesh peddlers, in which capacity they help actors get parts and writers get contracts.

-Larry McMurtry, Hollywood (Amazon)
