hollywoodreporter.comDale Sheets, the onetime right-hand man for Lew Wasserman at MCA and Universal who went on to serve as the personal manager for such singers as Mel Tormé, Vic Damone and Patti Page, has died.
He was 91. Sheets died Monday in Los Angeles of heart failure, his longtime family friend and former business associate Rob Wilcox announced.
In 1954, Sheets was working at United Television Programs when the company was acquired by MCA, and Wasserman became his boss.
A year later, at age 25, he was the youngest vice president in MCA history. "It didn't take me long at MCA to realize that Lew Wasserman was one of the brightest men to ever work in the world of entertainment," Sheets wrote in his 2017 autobiography, Accentuate the Positive.
