Hildy Gottlieb, the veteran agent most recently at CAA, is retiring this month after 48 years in the entertainment business, the agency announced on Monday morning.

Gottlieb joined CAA in 2022, following its acquisition of ICM Partners. Over the course of her career, she has repped a diverse range of Oscar, Emmy, and Tony Award winners.

We wish her all the best as she begins this next chapter.”
