But his father was one of the most successful, powerful and respected agents in the history of Hollywood, Norman Brokaw. Throughout his career he represented some of the greatest legendary stars in history, including Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Barbara Stanwyck, Loretta Young, Susan Hayward, Natalie Wood, Kim Novak, Clint Eastwood, Dick Van Dyke, Donna Summer and many more, including Olympic athletes like Mark Spitz, and former President Gerald Ford and his wife Betty Ford. He was renowned for his professionalism, integrity, sincerity, enthusiasm and above all, his steadfast loyalty and devotion to his clients. But until now, no one really knew the man behind the sterling professional reputation, because he always shied away from center stage, preferring instead to shine the spotlight on his superstar clients. But now our guest, who is Norman Brokaw’s son, has written a highly compelling and insightful book about his father entitled, “Driving Marilyn: The Life and Times of Legendary Hollywood Agent Norman Brokaw.” The book tells the story of Norman Brokaw’s remarkable 60-year journey, beginning in 1943, when at the age of 16, he started working in the mail room at the illustrious William Morris Agency, and then worked his way up to President and then Chairman and CEO of the company. Our guest spent 30 years as a publicist in Hollywood, representing many big stars, including Tyler Perry, for whom he ended up ghost writing the #1 New York Times Bestseller, “Don’t Make a Black Woman Take Off Her Earrings: Madea’s Uninhibited Commentaries on Love and Life”. That book, released in 2006, launched our guest into a new and highly successful career as an author, collaborator and ghost writer. His other books include “Living with Purpose: An Activist’s Guide to Listening, Learning and Leading”, by Dorothy Height, “It's Never Too Late: Getting Older, Wiser, and Worry Free in Our Golden Years”, by Scott Page, “There's No Traffic on the Extra Mile: Lessons on the Road from Dreams to Destiny” by Ricky Minor, and he co-wrote Florence Henderson’s bestselling memoir, “Life is Not a Stage: From Broadway Baby to a Lovely Lady and Beyond”. He also co-wrote “Jane's Dust: A Tale of Talc, Deceit, and Death” along with Dr. Ronald E. Gordon. And he co-wrote “Connect - The Ultimate Human Superpower - 38 Remarkable Journeys into the Inner Realm of Mind Power”, together with Sam Beard.

He then published 8 action-adventure novels in a series called “The Smuggler”.

And then, in 1991, following the suicides of former child actors Tim Hovey, Trent Lehman and Rusty Hamer, our guest created a non-profit organization called “A Minor Consideration”, which provides support and assistance to former child stars, and advocates for legislative protection for child celebrities in terms of working conditions and financial security. A Minor Consideration has had a tremendously positive and profound impact in the entertainment industry, and it has given our guest the well-deserved title of “the patron saint of child actors”.
