She was a legend in a town of legends and put the "super" into the term super-agent. Sue Mengers, who died Saturday at her Beverly Hills home, represented an extraordinary list of stars from the 1960s into the 1990s and was a power broker for women behind-the-scenes in Hollywood.
Cher, Farrah Fawcett, Nick Nolte, Steve McQueen, Ryan O'Neal, Michael Caine, Faye Dunaway, Joan Collins, Bob Fosse, Brian De Palma and Burt Reynolds were all her clients.
