Betty, a self proclaimed workaholic, has been living in here in Los Angeles
full time for about 6 years. She manages 36 people and has an intern
program for people interested in management. She is very active in the
Talent Management Association and produces their website at
www.talentmangers.org.
What does Betty look for in people she's interested in representing:
A person dedicated to their craft
Could they be a series regular
Do they whine, complain or act jealous
Do they have a positive attitude
Do they enjoy the process.
Betty only interviews about 1 person every 2 months or so. She says that
pictures are important because of what they say about the person.
Her advise on how to get a manger:
Look at the Talent Managers Association Website
Look what people are looking for
Be proactive
Network
Do plays and Showcases
Keep at it.
So, you're tired of sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. Let's face
it, it's not what you know, it's WHO you know, so why don't you come
get to know us? The Hollywood Salon is movers and shakers, celebs and wanna-be celebs
getting together over a beer and a memory of a
faraway place.
We're not all Nebraskans - some of us just like to hang out with
Nebraskans - but we're all part of the magic of Hollywood. Join us at
7:30 on the SECOND Monday of every month at the Culver Hotel,
9400 Culver Blvd. (@ Washington Blvd.) in Culver City, California 90232.
Just ten bucks Just TEN bucks...includes one drink and a raffle ticket for fabulous
Nebraska prizes. (Ten bucks too much? volunteer some time to the NCC and get in free.) There is a fully stocked bar, with cocktails, draft
beers and good wines. ĘThere is also a great restaurant at the hotel
serving wonderful appetizers and full meals (you can eat early in the
lobby/bar or bring your food up into the Salon conference room).
There's a VIP guest almost every month--check out the
list of recent ones and see who you've been missing. You'll have a
chance to share your news and needs in our Show and Tell. But the best
part is all the friends you'll meet--old friends and new friends. Most of
them will know where you come from. And all of them are bigwigs (or
tomorrow's bigwigs) in Hollywood.
