Shep Gordon: The Supermensch Interview

Shep Gordon is the consummate Hollywood insider. Though he isn’t a household name, Gordon has become a beacon in the industry, beloved by the countless stars he has encountered throughout his storied career. Shep is known for managing the careers of Alice Cooper as well as stints with Blondie, Luther Vandross and Raquel Welch, among others – a career that began with a chance encounter in 1968 with Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. He even found time to invent the “Celebrity Chef.” Though the chef as star is part of the culture now, it took Shep’s imagination, and his moral outrage at how the chefs were being treated, to monetize the culinary arts into the multi-billion dollar industry it is today. Personal friends with the Dalai Lama through his philanthropic endeavors with the Tibet Fund and the guardian of four children, Gordon’s unlikely story will be told by those who know him best, his pals, including Alice Cooper, Michael Douglas, Sylvester Stallone, Anne Murray, Willie Nelson, Emeril Lagasse and more.

Shep Gordon is very active in philanthropic endeavors and is the coordinating sponsor of the Roger Vergé Culinary Scholarship Foundation, sits on the boards of The Tibet Fund and Reel FX, and the Advisory Board of the TAJ Hotels, has served on the board of the American Liver Foundation, and is the Founding Member of the Hawaii Regional Cuisine Movement and was inducted into the Hawaii Culinary Hall of Fame. Shep Gordon has also won numerous industry awards including being named one of the 100 most influential people in Rolling Stone magazine.
