Sam Cohn, veteran talent agent, dies at 79

Sam Cohn, the talent agent whose five-decade career stands out as one of the most prominent in Hollywood history, died Wednesday in New York at age 79. The cause was a brief illness, according to Variety. A founding member of International Creative Management, Cohn was the biggest rep in New York for several decades. A lawyer who broke into the business in 1963, Cohn represented a slew of the biggest names in entertainment during his career, including Meryl Streep, Woody Allen, Robert Altman, Paul Newman, Mike Nichols, E.L. Doctorow, Arthur Miller, and Kander and Ebb. He had retired from ICM in February.

    Nice man. A deceased relative of mine in 2007 was good friends with a not terribly big name who was represented by Mr. Cohn. I was able to reach him and explain the situation. He was very professional and took my information to double check it, and the friendship of my late family member with his client. He and the client eventually got back to me about the funeral. A good man
