Episode #662 – Dick Guttman

The Dick Guttman Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour.

On this episode of The Paul Leslie Hour we welcome a press agent.Nowadays, they’re commonly called publicists, but Dick Guttman is old school. He prefers to be called a “press agent,” which Webster’s dictionary defines as “an agent employed to establish and maintain good public relations through publicity.”   

Paul was very excited to interview this legendary press agent. Dick Guttman has represented some of the biggest names in the entertainment business, a long list which we’ll get into in just a moment. He’s also a man who loves writing and classic movies and these loves combined with his 60 year career as a press agent resulted in his book STARFLACKER: Inside the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Let me tell you, treasured listener. It is you that makes The Paul Leslie Hour possible. Yes, it’s people like you. You can help us in our work of helping tell the human story by going here. Thank you to everyone who is contributing.
