The "little black book" that"s next to every studio executive"s palm pilot-the real scoop on Hollywood"s top 200 stars. Who"s hot? Who"s not? Who can green-light any project that they want? Who"s begging for scraps? For years the film industry"s elite have looked to James Ulmer"s Hollywood Hot List to measure who was really worth a multimillion-dollar payday and who should be pasture-bound.
