WME Snapshot
What do you call an aging Hollywood star trying to regain youth and vigor by marrying a much younger starlet? Try William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME Entertainment), the new talent agency formed by the 2009 merger of 100-year-old William Morris Agency and Endeavor, born in 1995. The new super-agency ranks in size (boasting more than 300 agents) and scope with the Creative Artists Agency, a leader in the talent representation industry. WME Entertainment's roster of stars includes Adam Sandler, Clint Eastwood, Denzel Washington, and Russell Crowe, among other A-list names. William Morris brought its primacy in books, music, and TV to the marriage, while upstart Endeavor adds young stars and momentum.
