The Gersh Agentry

If client longevity is a testament to what makes a great agent, you might wish to note that Phil Gersh brokered the versatile Robert Wise’s deals from when Wise edited “Citizen Kane” (1941) to the director-producer’s final picture, “A Storm in Summer” (2000)--a Hollywood record unlikely to be surpassed (“A Player Then and Now,” by Charles Dennis, April 21).
