Carolyn Roos Olsen with Marylin Hudson
For years people said someone should write a book about Bö Roos, but nobody will believe it. Now his daughter Carolyn has written the book, and it is believeable as it captures Hollywood’s Golden Age and Bö Roos’s unique part in it as one of Hollywood’s most powerful and successful business managers. It’s an amazing piece of Hollywood history that hasn’t been covered before.

Bö Roos not only keeps (his clients) on an allowance – he eats, drinks, and even weeps with them.
Saturday Evening Post
Bö invested and took risks right alongside his clients claiming more conservative managers were ‘guys going through life with nothing on their chests.’ Working with him was always full of excitement and the unexpected. Carolyn’s captured his story well.
