WME literary agent Julie Weitz is joining Carol Mendelsohn’s CBS TV Studios-based production company as president.
For the past 6 years, she was an agent at Endeavor and then WME. She joined Endeavor in 2004 when the agency launched a movies-for-television division and tapped Weitz to run it. Prior to that, Weitz served as EVP of original programming for TNT, where she was responsible for the supervision of development and production of original movies, mini-series, series and reality series. Weitz started her agency career in 1992 at ICM, where she headed the longform television packaging department. Before joining ICM, Weitz served as both the president of von Zerneck-Sertner Films and director of development for Hearst Entertainment.

As her former assistant, I just wanted to start the comments off by congratulating Julie and saying that she was the best first boss one could have hoped for coming into an agency fresh from college.
Is she married to WME partner Richard Weitz?
Not married to Richard Weitz. No relation.
Julie is a class act. She went to Endeavor to run tv movies, and when that business turned, she established herself as a goto person in the cable scripted series business.
She will be missed at the newly merged agency.
For her, however, what a score. She gets to partner with Carol Mendelson, who has LEs Moonves’ ear and has 4 series on the air. WMA-E will feed her lots of big projects, and she can double her income.
nice deal
She was one smart classy Agent. Carol is very lucky to have her. I always admired her smart business sense and good taste. Congratulations to both of you.
She will be sorely missed by her clients. Creative agent= creative producer. Whaaaaa.
Well that is nice to hear. As they say, you can always tell the person by how they treat those working for them.
Congrats Julie.
She is fantastic and a breed apart. A real creative agent, so she will be a great producer. Now I will jump into the silver lake.
Two really strong and great people. A perfect pairing.
In Italian we say “Brava Julie!!!” she is back!
I’ve know Julie for over 45 years and this couldn’t be more deserving! Congratulations, Sis!
