My Dad did that for one of producer's office workers, by shooting a great photo layout and writing a great bio for her. He only gave it to one producer, personally. The man looked at the material, thanked him, and they walked out into the reception room and hired the girl who worked for him and he had never noticed before on the spot. But she never got the acting job, because two months later the producer married the girl.

My Dad knew a lot of Hollywood celebrities, and some of the most beautiful women in the late 50'sw and 60. He has always said the most beautiful woman he ever met (after Mom of course) was Trish Hilton, the wife of his good frined, Nicky Hilton whose first wife was Elizabeth Taylor. And when you consider my Dad knew Marilyn Monroe, well, you figure. Many of the people he knew would call, but I didn't know most. And I knew my Dad had helped a lot of people get started in films.

This was cold calling. That is, there was no roll Jewel was up for, and he didn't call in advance, but simply took the press kits to their offices. Most people can't do that, but every studio in town was open to my Dad. He could drive on without having an appointment and if they didn't know him at the gate, a quick call to any one of a number of producers gave him the all access pass. He knew that out of 100 press kits, Jewel would get at least five calls, simply as a courtesy to him.
