Here is the story of Jerry Weintraub: the self-made,Brooklyn-born, Bronx-raised impresario, Hollywood producer,legendary deal maker, and friend of politicians and stars. Nomatter where nature has placed him--the club rooms of Brooklyn, theMafia dives of New York's Lower East Side, the wilds of Alaska, orthe hills of Hollywood--he has found a way to put on a show andsell tickets at the door. "All life was a theater and I wanted toput it up on a stage," he writes. "I wanted to set the world undera marquee that read: 'Jerry Weintraub Presents.'"
  In WHEN I STOP TALKING, YOU'LL KNOW I'M DEAD, we follow Weintraubfrom his first great success at age twenty-six with Elvis Presley,whom he took on the road; to the immortal days with Sinatra and RatPack glory; to his crowning hits as a movie producer, starting withRobert Altman and Nashville, continuing with Oh,God!, The Karate Kid movies, and Diner,among others, and summiting with Steven Soderbergh and Ocean'sEleven, Twelve, and Thirteen.
  Along the way, we'll watch as Jerry moves from the poker tables ofPalm Springs, to the power rooms of Hollywood, to the halls of theWhite House, to Red Square in Moscow-all the while counselingpotentates, poets, and kings, with clients and confidants likeGeorge Clooney, Bruce Willis, George H. W. Bush, Armand Hammer,Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, John Denver, BobbyFischer . . .well, the list goes on.
  And of course, the story is not yet over . . . As Weintraub says,"When I stop talking, you'll know I'm dead." Jerry Weintraub has spent more than fivedecades in show business, in the process earning a reputation asone of the savviest negotiators, smartest producers, and shrewdestfilm investors of our time. He has been praised and honored for hisphilanthropic work and, as UNICEF's Man of theYear, was presented the organization's Danny Kaye HumanitarianAward.

Rich Cohen, a contributing editor at VanityFair and Rolling Stone, is the author of five books,including the bestsellers Tough Jews, TheAvengers, and Israel Is Real. He lives in Connecticutwith his wife, his dog, and many masculine children.
