In King of Media bestselling author Jerome Tuccille tells for the first time the extraordinary story of the visionary yet tenacious man who revolutionized the entertainment industry. After starting out in the mailroom at the William Morris Agency in the 1960s, Diller joined ABC Television where his swift rise through the ranks earned him almost immediate recognition and chairmanship of Paramount Pictures. There he oversaw such film classics as Saturday Night Fever, Grease, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, as well as the TV shows Laverne & Shirley and Taxi. However, Diller made his most indelible mark on the industry when in 1987 he formed FOX TV, which went head to head with the existing networks by programming innovative series such as The Simpsons, Married…With Children, and In Living Color. Since then Diller has continued to grab headlines, most notably with his acquisition of QVC, his volatile and failed battle to buy Paramount Pictures, and later his marriage to fashion designer Diane von Furstenburg. Among the dozens of celebrities and media tycoons we meet along the way are Calvin Klein, Andy Warhol, John Travolta, Warren Beatty, David Geffen, Rupert Murdoch, Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Ted Turner, Robert Evans, and Joan Rivers.

A Man to Admire and Aspire To

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 8, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is the best biography I have ever read.

It is clear, concise and gives such an excellent overview of Barry Diller's life.

I have looked everywhere for a book about Mr Diller, since reading "Keys to the Kingdom" and this did not disappoint, delving deeply into the thoroughly interesting subject.

There a number of books on so many other "successful" people, as well as a million books about getting rich quick, yet all of them pale in comparison to this book. The author tells it beautifully, you are left in no doubt as to what it takes to achieve your goals in any given industry.

The only disappointing part of the book was the number of pages devoted to Mr Diller's sexuality. With his level of success, I was left to wonder why I was supposed to care about it, it seemed a little laughable.

All in all, for a page turner and a genuine person to aspire to, there is no better book.
