Hollywood Virgin  is more than a tell-all memoir about the business of show business from the founder and CEO of Virgin's entertainment company―it's about hustle, risk-taking, sudden success, insider realizations, self-discovery, breakdowns, and walking away before losing everything… alongside plenty of behind-the-screen shockers, celebrity stories, and yes, a bathrobe or two.

Growing up in small-town Texas, Jason Felts dreamed of working in Hollywood. He made his way to California, started his own production company at 23, was named to Variety's “Top 10 to Watch” list, and reluctantly dressed the part as he rose quickly to build and lead a multi-million dollar entertainment company for Virgin, one of the world's most respected brands―so why did he walk away at

such a young age?

 

Jason recounts how he diligently pursued opportunities in the entertainment industry, quickly working his way up from small-time, thankless jobs serving the most powerful, to becoming a key industry player himself, making news-worthy things happen behind the scenes that no one ever knew―until now.
