Non-Notable Person. Just because she was Jay Leno's agent doesn't mean she is notable and qualifies for a Wikipedia article. Hell I work in the entertainment industry so does that mean I can have a Wikipedia article too? I think not. Misterrick 21:54, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. As Hollywood agents go, she was pretty controversial.  Kathy Bates won a Golden Globe and was Emmy-nominated for playing her in the TV movie The Late Shift (about the Jay Leno-David Letterman rivalry), so I think some people might want to look her up in Wikipedia. --Metropolitan90 03:02, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. There is so little info available about her online, and much of it is very biased against her; she co-founded an AIDS awareness organization and much of her work in her later life (post-Tonight Show) was involved with AIDS research. Further, she is an important figure in the "late night wars," whether or not people want to acknowledge her role in severing the relationship b/w Leno and Letterman. She was a representative for several other Hollywood figures besides Leno, and in many ways was famous in her own right, and so my vote is to keep this article with expansions.

 * Keep. Her role in the 'late night wars' alone makes her notable, if not for exemplifying how not to handle a client. Being Jay Leno's agent is not what makes her notable; his current agent - whoever that is - is certainly not notable. But she was particularly notorious in hollywood for many years, particularly because the tonight show is such an important show for the industry. Aspersions 07:05, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep The book and television movie, as well as coverage in celeb. magazines, make her a notable person. Xoloz 09:16, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
