Below is from the Hollywood Reporter interview:
Joy GormanManager, Anonymous Content Born: Oct. 26, 1973As a 3-year-old, Joy Gorman saw the original cast of "A Chorus Line" on Broadway because her mother -- a single parent with three children -- bought $5 standing-room tickets. Mom's investment paid off when Gorman enrolled at Barnard College at Columbia University and found her niche in the college's historic revue "The Varsity Show." After spending her post-college years working in casting and development, Gorman became a manager in 2002, with two young clients she had met through "The Varsity Show": Dana Fox and Brian Yorkey. "I lost my mom, and I ended up deciding to just work out of my house for a while with Dana and Brian," Gorman says. "When something like that happens, you just can't care about the spec market." Since then, she's joined Anonymous Content and built a roster that includes Dito Monteil, Neil Alsip and Chad Lowe. YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO YOUNG: Gorman plans to be an executive under 35 longer than most. "My college, Columbia, made a mistake and gave me a degree that says class of '96, so I can get away with pretending to be a year younger than I really am," she jokes. "It hangs in my office that I graduated a year later than I really did." GHETTO FABULOUS: When Gorman was interviewing for the job at Anonymous, founder and CEO Steve Golin asked which high school she attended. "I'm like, 'I can't believe he's asking me this,'" she says. "I went to a pretty ghetto high school (in Yonkers) -- DMX went to my high school. Steve was like, 'I was there in 1968 when Martin Luther King got shot.' I thought, 'I really am meant to work for this person!'" ROCK AND ROLODEX: Music helps soothe Gorman's soul. "I have a band," she says, laughing. "Most of the guys are in the business. Sam Hansen (from Jinx/Cohen) is on guitar, and (screenwriter) Matt (Eddy) is on piano, and I'm lead vocals. It really does help you blow off some steam."
YOU GO, GIRL!!!!!
