Join us Wednesday, January 14, 730PM at Olandar for the screening of SUPERMENSCH: THE LEGEND OF SHEP GORDON directed by MIKE MYERS. Discussion following. RSVP for more info and directions. In his directorial debut, Mike Myers (Wayne’s World, Austin Powers) documents the astounding career of Hollywood insider, the loveable Shep Gordon, who fell into music management by chance after moving to LA straight out of college, and befriending Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix. Shep Gordon is the consummate Hollywood insider. Though he isnt a household name, Gordon has become a beacon in the industry, beloved by the countless stars he has encountered throughout his storied career. Shep managed rock stars such as Pink Floyd, Luther Vandross, Teddy Pendergrass and Alice Cooper, and later went on to manage chefs such as Emeril Lagasse, ushering in the era of celebrity chefs on television. Though the chef as star is part of the culture now, it took Sheps imagination, and his moral outrage at how the chefs were being treated, to monetize the culinary arts into the multi-billion dollar industry it is today. He even found time to invent the Celebrity Chef. Stuffed with fantastic archive footage the film traces Shep’s transformation from the 1970’s hedonist to today’s practicing Buddhist yearning for a family of his own. Personal friends with the Dalai Lama through his philanthropic endeavors with the Tibet Fund and the guardian of four children, Gordons unlikely story will be told by those who know him best, his pals, including Alice Cooper, Michael Douglas, Sylvester Stallone, Anne Murray, Willie Nelson, Emeril Lagasse and more.
