Let's Read Los Angeles: What Makes Sammy Run?

Sammy Glick is not a nice man in What Makes Sammy Run? Budd Schulberg's 1941 novel is a classic, following Glick from his poor childhood in New York to the top of Hollywood's screenwriting profession in the 1930s.

Glick was supposedly modeled after the author's father, Hollywood mogul B.P. Schulberg, head of production for Paramount, who promoted stars such as Clara Bow and Mary Pickford.
