I'll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers

Presented by Booth Theatre


Bette Midler portrays Sue Mengers, the first female "superagent" in this new play by John Logan. Mengers came from near poverty, a refugee from Hitler's Germany, and worked her way up through pluck, charm, and a legendary wit. In that uniquely American way, she invented herself; and when the career she wanted didn't exist, she invented that as well: "Superagent." It was a term Hollywood all but coined for her. By the 1970's, she represented almost every major star in Hollywood and went on to become the town's most renowned hostess.
