Sue Mengers
Mengers, one of the most influential Hollywood agents during the 1960s, '70s and '80s, died following several small strokes on Oct. 15. She was 78, thought some sources claimed her to be 81. Until her retirement in 1986, Mengers worked at Creative Management Associates and International Creative Management and was one of the pioneering female agents in the business. Her clientele included Candice Bergen, Michael Caine, Cher, Faye Dunaway, Gene Hackman, Sidney Lumet, Steve McQueen, Nick Nolte, Burt Reynolds, Cybill Shepherd and Barbra Streisand, who served as Mengers' maid of honor in her 1973 wedding to Belgian writer-director Jean-Claude Tramont.
