Renowned theatrical agent Nancy Carson breaks down her wonderful career representing child actors in LITTLE ME’s first SPOTLIGHT episode!
Nancy Carson sits down with Broadway Workshop director, Marc Tumminelli and shares her inspiring story of establishing Carson-Adler Agency in the 1970s alongside Marion Adler in a male-dominated industry, how Annie changed the game for child performers and demonstrated the need for proper voice training, fighting for diversity during the process of casting orphans in Annie, how she has learned to find a true spark in children who are passionate about acting, and the incredible stories of representing child actors who performed in two Broadway shows at once-one of them being the talented Cynthia Nixon!
Nancy tells LITTLE ME listeners about the time she got chills listening to young Britney Spears sing for the first time, the close relationships she built with her family, and watching Britney become a huge star, the great pride she feels getting to watch her clients reach great success in their careers including those of Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Nixon, and Natalie Portman, and reflects on her book, Raising a Star.
