• Nikki, please report back on this event! Ed was a great man and I’m sure many of us would like to know what was said about him. He is missed…

• That was the most incredible events. A true celebration of a man who lived the hollywood dream. Well done WME. Ed would have been proud of the speeches and performances.

• I went to this and was amazed. A very well organized event. The speakers included Mel Gibson, Denzel Washington, Michelle Pfeiffer, Richard Gere and a song from Elton John. It seem Mel did himself a lot of favors: his speech was very funny, self-deprecating. He told us how he had learned a lot from Ed, for example “phone manner”. He waited for the laugh and it came. He concluded by telling us how Ed used to say to him “Just because I die, it doesn’t mean you can go out and get another agent!”. Then Mel told us he didn’t think that was going to be a problem! All in all, the evening made us feel that there is some nobility to what we all do; but sadly it might be dying with the likes of the great Ed Limato.

  I loved Ed. He was always very kind to me. It was just easy dealing with him, I found. And, yes, he would have been very pleased with last night.
