"Now, I could tell you stories about Jerry, but Jerry is the
first and best to tell them. He''s funny and grumpy and perfectly
inappropriate. When it comes to work, nobody works harder. When it
comes to charities, nobody guilts better. And when it comes to
friendship, he has no peers. That''s Jerry''s great talent. He
doesn''t just light up a room, he lights it on fire. He''s a great
producer, a great organizer, a great friend, and truly the greatest
showman on earth." George Clooney

內容簡介：
Here is the story of Jerry Weintraub: the self-made,
Brooklyn-born, Bronx-raised impresario, Hollywood producer,
legendary deal maker, and friend of politicians and stars. No
matter where nature has placed him--the club rooms of Brooklyn, the
Mafia dives of New York''s Lower East Side, the wilds of Alaska, or
the hills of Hollywood--he has found a way to put on a show and
sell tickets at the door. "All life was a theater and I wanted to
put it up on a stage," he writes. "I wanted to set the world under
a marquee that read: ''Jerry Weintraub Presents.''"
In WHEN I STOP TALKING, YOU''LL KNOW I''M DEAD, we follow Weintraub
from his first great success at age twenty-six with Elvis Presley,
whom he took on the road; to the immortal days with Sinatra and Rat
Pack glory; to his crowning hits as a movie producer, starting with
Robert Altman and Nashville, continuing with Oh,
God!, The Karate Kid movies, and Diner,
among others, and summiting with Steven Soderbergh and Ocean''s
Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen.
Along the way, we''ll watch as Jerry moves from the poker tables of
Palm Springs, to the power rooms of Hollywood, to the halls of the
White House, to Red Square in Moscow-all the while counseling
potentates, poets, and kings, with clients and confidants like
George Clooney, Bruce Willis, George H. W. Bush, Armand Hammer,
Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, John Denver, Bobby
Fischer . . .well, the list goes on.
And of course, the story is not yet over . . . As Weintraub says,
"When I stop talking, you''ll know I''m dead."
