Hit and Run

Hit and Run tells the improbable and often hilarious story of how two Hollywood film packagers went on a campaign to reinvent themselves as studio executives -- at Sony's expense. Veteran reporters Nancy Griffin and Kim Masters chronicle the rise of Jon Peters, a former hairdresser, seventh-grade dropout, and juvenile delinquent, and his soulless soul mate, Peter Guber -- and all the sex, drugs, and fistfights along the way. It is the stoW of the ultimate Hollywood con job and the standard by which every subsequent business blunder has been measured. Hit and Run delivers rock-solid business reporting liberally laced with inside gossip and outrageous scandal -- plus a new after-word bringing us up to date on the latest fallout from the Guber -- Peters legacy.

About the author

I began writing these stories after I saw the series of a particular cowboy. His performance inspired me to write this book. I never heard of him in my younger years until recently. We both had a poor background, which I can relate to. With my family's encouragement and his excellent acting along with the humor in his movies, I was able to write this book. In this book, I try to put myself and him as we were portraying it back then. The book is an exciting, traumatic, energetic, and romantic adventure between a man and a young woman.
