Wasserman came from a dirt-poor beginning and rose to create an empire. He was easily the most powerful mogul and outlasted the rest. An entertainment world without Lew Wasserman would be an indubitably different world, to say the least. Nonetheless, the time period still presented other powerful moguls.
