Exercise 3
Making money out of other people's fame is a highly 
specialized skill, but one that can bring great rewards 
to those who practise it proficiently. Marianne Beretoli 
is one of those people; she owns a company which 
sells information about celebrities to other celebrities 
as a kind of careers advice service. Although she was 
born in France, she used to dream of moving to the 
USA, specifically Hollywood. Whilst studying business 
at university Beretoli was known for her innovative 
approach to applying theory to practice and she 
would
te often challenge the ideas of her tutors. When she 
had graduated, Beretoli worked in Paris and tried 
unsuccessfully to set up her own marketing agency. 
Then she decided to move to the U SA and within months 
realised that she 
had 
boon making 
made 
the right 
decision. She moved from Paris to Los Angeles in 1995 
and after she had been working as an assistant for an 
advertising agency for a few years, she had 
set up 
her 
own company providing information services to the rich 
and famous.
