Jeff Franklin
Following Action Talent, which managed two big name artists: Brooklyn Bridge and Stevie Wonder, Jeff formed American Talent International in 1970 with Wally Meyrowitz and Sol Saffian, and acted as Rush’s agent with Ira Blacker in the early days. Howard Ungerleider also worked at ATI as an office junior. Jeff sold ATI in February 1985 and moved into the film industry as a screenwriter and director, later becoming executive producer for ‘Casper’ and ‘Stuart Little’.
