Shirley Grant has been a talent manager since 1978 and is best known for discovering such talent as The Jonas Brothers, Keshia Knight Pulliam, Christina Ricci, Danny Tamberelli, JD Roth, Allison Smith and George O. Gore. Shirley loves seeing her clients succeed and have fun in all areas of the business, but her favorite 'show business moments' come when she watches her clients grace a Broadway stage.
For over 30 years, Shirley's clients have been seen and heard in commercials, voice-overs, feature films, sitcoms, soap operas, talk shows, cartoons, industrials...and singing and dancing on the Broadway stage. During all that time, she as accumulated extraordinary stories and fabulous anecdotes that she has been hoping to share in a book, but can't seem to find anyone to help her write it. Her staff seems to be too busy at the moment to help out...
Dave McKeown has been with Shirley Grant Management since 1998 and heads up the theatrical and on-camera division. In his 12 years as a manager for kids, teens, and young adults in show
business, Dave has represented and developed such talent as The
Jonas Brothers, Kathleen Herles (original voice of Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer), and
Katrina Bowden (Cerie on NBC's 30 Rock).
Some of Dave's clients can be heard in cartoons such as The
Backyardigans, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Wonderpets, Pinky Dinky Doo,
Speed Racer: The Next Generation, Chuggington and Umi Zoomi. He has booked kids in thousands of commercial and voice-overs. His clients are very busy working in many feature films, television shows, soap operas, and on Broadway. Dave travels the country
extensively looking for great new talent to develop and represent.
He and his Blackberry go home every night very, very tired...
Jane Fuccillo has been with Shirley Grant Management for...a very long time, higher than any of us can count. She works in the theatrical and on-camera division pushing to get auditions for our fabulous clients and making sure they all get paid.
Jane's unique sense of humor turns a somewhat stressful office enviornment into a fun place to work. She also likes to scout for new talent. Jane works very hard at 'client care' and can solve any problems that may arise in show business, especially double bookings...
Lindsey Catherine was Lindsey Booz when she arrived at Shirley Grant Management in 2008. The rest of the staff couldn't convince her to keep her maiden name. She works in the on-camera commercials and modeling division, and heads up the infants division. Lindsey is on the phone constantly making sure everyone's confirmed for their auditions. Her favorite time of day is when she is not on the phone and is at ease knowing all her clients have called to confirm!
Lindsey is a graduate of the University of Deleware with a major in Music Management. She wasn't sure what hit her on her first day of work, but she's pretty sure it was called Shirley Grant Management...
Shobha Shah, Book Keeper, perhaps our client's favorite staff member. Also known as the 'Money Lady', Shobha has been with Shirley Grant Management over 30 years working hard to make sure our excellent clients get paid!
