However, after doing further research, I felt the agency wouldn’t be the right fit for me, and didn’t pursue it. I think I need a little less boldness from my agent.

He maintains it was a handshake deal (which is very common for agents), while her side maintains a deal never existed. I recently attended an agents panel where one agent said, and I paraphrase, if you’re letting someone else touch your money, you should get the deal in writing. Having worked in Hollywood for far too long and having seen far too many litigations over deal points that weren’t memorialized, I say a written contract is the way to go.

It sure would have saved Lukeman and Keyes a lot of time and money.

I seem to recall a flurry of point-counterpoint over her proposed memoir.
