Bruce Edwin, editor of www.TheHollywood Sentinel.com, the
C.E.O. of Starpower Management LLC, a highly sought after model
and talent management firm based in Santa Monica, California, and
a renown writer / feature film producer, attached to numerous
motion pictures with A list stars attached, here gives back big
to hundreds of thousands of aspiring models and actors around the
world with his free bi-weekly article in The Hollywood
Sentinel®, with excerpts from his upcoming new book, How to
Succeed in Hollywood © (working title).
Mr. Edwin, known for creating the highest standards for new
models and talent, was also known as one of the most difficult
for amateurs to get in the door with. ‘I was tough.’
Edwin admits. ‘I would ask any potential model or actor I
would sign if they realize that we are doing them a favor by
signing them. Because in fact, in the entertainment business, if
one is not a celebrity, agents and managers really are doing
talent a favor. There is no shortage of talent or a pretty face
in this town. What there is a shortage on, are those with the
right attitude and the right values. So when a pretty model would
tell me, no, I don’t see that, I think I’m doing you
a favor instead, and no one had even heard of them, I would
reject them. Having to do that to hundreds upon hundreds, as you
can imagine, creates quite a fan club. Despite that, I care for
them all, and want to still help them.’
Mr. Edwin continues, ‘It’s sad though. I was in this
book store, and this young man walks up and shyly asked the
clerks, all busy talking to each other, if they carry a certain
newspaper for aspiring actors. They looked at him like he was a
low life, told him no, and then laughed behind his back! Now, why
a national book chain in Los Angeles does not carry a newspaper
for actors is the first problem. Secondly, this poor guy was put
down for wanting to learn about the business he dreams of being
in. The search for knowledge shouldn’t be so difficult to
find and be put down. The truth should be free. And in our
business, above most any other, there are way too many
confusions. I intend to clear some of that up on this
site.’
And so Bruce Edwin, this week launches HOW TO SUCCEED IN
HOLLYWOOD© on THE HOLLYWOOD SENTINEL ©®, in order
to give back to models, actors, and performers, with his free
ongoing bi weekly article, to help those aspiring to
celebrity-dom with the powerful knowledge of how they can begin
doing the right things, the right way, to become a true success
in Hollywood.
