RON MEYER: Here I was, at the time just an okay agent, who had this whale by the tail. I always said if I could represent just one big star, I’d sign fifty; I would know how to parlay that into building a big business. Once an agent represents a big star like Sly, people believe you know something—even if you don’t. He was my calling card. He changed my life, and I’ve always been grateful to him for it.
