Description
Nancy, Kim, and Connie begin the interview discussing the fact that this is a "business" book that reads more like a Hollywood character movie. For the majority of the interview, Connie, Nancy, and Kim discuss a number of topics related to Peter, Jon, and Sony Pictures, from the bad business decisions they made and the lavish lifestyle they lead to how Nancy and Kim came to write this book. In particular, they discuss the backgrounds of their main protagonists, Jon Peters and Peter Guber, and how they recognized a need in themselves that the other could fulfill that led to their becoming business partners. They also discuss the movies that they had their "name” on, and Jon and Peter's ability to sell movies, which is what made them so successful initially. Kim, Nancy, and Connie end the interview talking about how Jon and Peter's ride with Sony came to an end.
