Annabel Gualazzi – Talent Agent, WME

The Michigan native is helping some of Hollywood’s hottest young talent take their next big career steps, from landing 13 Reasons Why‘s breakout star Katherine Langford a role in Fox 2000’s adaptation Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens to getting The Get Down‘s Justice Smith into the Jurassic World sequel. She also nabbed Selena Gomez a role in Woody Allen’s next film and works closely with Modern Family‘s Sarah Hyland and Mr. Robot star Rami Malek. The Michigan State alum began her agency career as an ICM assistant and then worked for Bonnie Liedtke at William Morris. “Bonnie was heavily in the kid business, so I learned early on the amount of work that goes into it,” says Gualazzi, who followed her twin sister (a manager) to L.A. and became an agent at WME in 2009. She adds, “I gravitate toward people who are looking for great material and aren’t necessarily looking to get famous.”
