The famous Wally Amos. Cookie king
Description
Wally Amos is "Famous" for his chocolate chip cookies. But before he cooked up that recipe, he had already tasted success in a totally different field; Wally was the first black talent agent at the William Morris Agency representing the likes of Simon and Garfunkel and The Supremes. Filled with candid reflections from Wally and those who know him best, including his wife and children, BIOGRAPHY traces his tumultuous journey. See how his first two marriages crumbled and bad business decisions cost him the cookie company by the early 90s, and find out how he got things turned around--in both his personal and professional life.
