For decades, Hollywood power player Larry Feldman was known as a respected entertainment attorney with a reputation for being fair and honest. But behind closed doors, Feldman was leading a secret life that would scandalize even the most hardened Tinseltown veteran.
It started with his marriage to actress-turned-production-executive, Karen Klein. Their union was loving and prosperous, with Karen serving as the president of Feldman’s production company. However, Feldman’s appetite for excitement was insatiable, and he began an affair with a beautiful young actress, Sarah Thompson.
As Feldman and Thompson’s torrid affair continued, Karen grew increasingly suspicious. Despite her deepening unease, Feldman convinced her to host a lavish dinner party at their Bel Air mansion, inviting Thompson, as well as several of their A-list friends, including film director, Richard Donner, and his wife, producer, Tammy Katz.
The night of the party, the tension was palpable as Feldman, Thompson, and their respective spouses, mingled and laughed together. Karen, sensing the unease, excused herself and retreated to their bedroom. Feldman followed, pleading with her to stay and work through their issues.
But Karen’s trust was shattered, and she began to unravel. In the midst of her emotional meltdown, Feldman’s assistant, a former model turned executive, Leslie, appeared at the bedroom door, revealing that she had been Feldman’s mistress for years.
As the three women confronted each other, Feldman slunk away, defeated, leaving behind a trail of shattered reputations and destroyed relationships. The once-illustrious attorney was left alone, his Hollywood empire in ruins, the victim of his own decadent desires.
The tangled web of deceit and passion that Larry Feldman created would be the stuff of Hollywood legend, a cautionary tale of the corrupting influence of power and the destructive nature of forbidden love.
