An Agent admits he made a mistake

Author Cooper Lawrence writes in his new book, “The Cult of Celebrity,” that Julia Roberts search for an agent wasn’t all flowers and roses.

Agent Robert Attermann of Abrams Artists Agency says she came in for a meeting but his staff proclaimed the future star “too trailer park”and decided not to sign her.

She “came in years ago,” he says,  “and the commercial agent who met with her at the time said, ‘Nah, she’s too trailer park.’”

He goes on to say that “as a matter of fact, when we moved offices, we were going through old rejection files, and in there was Annette Bening, Robin Givens, Julia Roberts and a couple of others.”
