Here is the story of Jerry Weintraub: the self-made, Brooklyn-born,
Bronx-raised impresario, Hollywood producer, legendary deal maker,
and friend of politicians and stars. No matter where nature has
placed him--the club rooms of Brooklyn, the Mafia dives of New
York's Lower East Side, the wilds of Alaska, or the hills of
Hollywood--he has found a way to put on a show and sell tickets at
the door. "All life was a theater and I wanted to put it up on a
stage," he writes. "I wanted to set the world under a marquee that
read: 'Jerry Weintraub Presents.'"
In WHEN I STOP TALKING, YOU'LL KNOW I'M DEAD, we follow Weintraub
from his first great success at age twenty-six with Elvis Presley,
whom he took on the road; to the immortal days with Sinatra and Rat
Pack glory; to his crowning hits as a movie producer, starting with
Robert Altman and Nashville, continuing with Oh, God , The Karate
Kid movies, and Diner, among others, and summiting with Steven
Soderbergh and Ocean's Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen.
Along the way, we'll watch as Jerry moves from the poker tables of
Palm Springs, to the power rooms of Hollywood, to the halls of the
White House, to Red Square in Moscow-all the while counseling
potentates, poets, and kings, with clients and confidants like
George Clooney, Bruce Willis, George H. W. Bush, Armand Hammer,
Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, John Denver, Bobby
Fischer . . .well, the list goes on.
And of course, the story is not yet over . . . As Weintraub says,
"When I stop talking, you'll know I'm dead."
