@MattGaymon: Based on that link, "Sam" is clearly David Geffen.

"Bear, as wealthy a mogul as he may be, was still an employee of a major motion picture company. Also Sam is vice president of two major international corporations."

It's Diller. Everything fits, including his 'size'. Which means he has a huge penis, which looks bigger when you're that short.

Why is this writer so loquacious?
Who bought this book?

Who admitted to reading this book?
Where is Hollywood?
Why do NY gays generally dislike LA gays?

Wait, google? [www.queerculturalcenter.org]

"Barricade wasn't too concerned but we ended up giving "The Bear" and "Sam" those names…instead of oh…say Barry and David. We also changed their recognized girlfriends at this time; they became "a fashion mogul from New York" and "a former TV sitcom star"."

1979 studio heads:

MGM: Kerkorian not Jewish
Paramount: Barry Diller
Universal: Dunno, but was doing more TV then (other than Jaws)
Warner: Ashley not Jewish
Columbia: don't know who was in charge

Diller is also not a small guy.

Hamud Ibn Hamud — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:13:28 EDT

Barry Diller?

When Barry and I were married, I used to shave his back with a straight razor and use the fur to stuff these needle-point neck-support pillows that I made for Barry to give to his A-list friends.

This was of course back before airplanes had "lay flat" seats and my Barry-filled neck-support pillows were a *much-coveted* item, a status symbol, really, on both coasts.

"For Bear it was a relief to take the passenger seat and pretend that he was mortal from time to time."

I would be envious of anyone in a position to take a day off from divine gallivanting to play mortal for a while.
