Riassunto

Read bestselling books for a living. Watch films for money. Go to see Broadway plays for work. Socialize at premiere parties for pay. I am a movie "development girl," and, believe it or not, this is my job description. Do you think my career sounds fabulous and fun? Well, you aren't alone--

Countless people dream of a career in the movies. Development Girl: The Hollywood Virgin's Guide to Making It in the Movie Business is industry insider Hadley Davis's indispensable guide to making that dream a reality.

Starting with a crash course on the ins and outs of the movie business (What really goes on in a production company?
