Don Buchwald, who founded his eponymous Hollywood talent agency Don Buchwald & Associates in 1977 and counted Howard Stern among his many clients, died Monday of natural causes.
He was 88. Buchwald passed away peacefully surrounded by his family, the company said in a statement Tuesday. He got the nickname “Superagent” from Stern and is mentioned often — but rarely heard — on SiriusXM‘s The Howard Stern Show. “I’m not a particularly boastful person,” he told The New York Times in a 2018 interview.
