Competition for Hollywood's Power Brokers

In Hollywood, a good agent is the magical dealmaker who can bring together a script, a director, and a star to make a movie happen. Commentator Jake Halpern says that agents have been the power brokers in Hollywood since the decline of the studio system in the early '50s.
