A Hollywood Dream Career with Larry Thompson

Crazy Money with Paul Ollinger

Larry Thompson is an entertainment manger in Beverly Hills, CA. In his 50+ years in Hollywood, Larry has guided the careers of over 200 stars, including Drew Barrymore, William Shatner, Cicely Tyson, Joan Rivers, Sonny & Cher, David Hasselhoff, Barry White, and Cindy Crawford. Larry grew up in Clarksdale, MS, graduated from Ole Miss law school then drove across country to chase his dream in Hollywood. As a young lawyer at Capitol Records, he helped negotiate the break-up of the Beatles then proceeded to sign each of the Fab 4 to their own solo contracts. This is just one of many incredible stories Larry shares about the talent he’s worked with, including George Harrison, Barry White, Elton John, Farrah Fawcett, and Lee Majors. We also discuss how Larry helps talent see their own potential, avoid pitfalls, and how Larry got his own act together when success and ego distracted him from what was important in life. Larry is the recipient of the Heller Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Talent Managers Association and the author of the book, SHINE: A Powerful 4-step plan to becoming a star in anything you do.
