the fees. Howard taught me how to bring clients into a package and keep them happy, how to mediate problems, how to watch over budgets. He always made time for me. (Following his example, I had a series of trainees assigned to me at CAA. I’m afraid I was much less patient.) He was a model for follow-up and presentation and how to think on your feet. And he taught me to tell clients the truth. Agents always get busted when they tell the easy lie: “You look great in dailies” or “Your script is fantastic.”
