The Wrap has gotten hold of a memo listing the salaries and stock of top agents at William Morris. From Sharon Waxman's post:

Who knows why John Fogelman, until about a minute ago the co-head of William Morris’ motion-picture department, chose yesterday to fax the memo written by CFO Irv Weintraub, containing the personal salaries and stock apportioning of WMA top agents, executives and board members from 2007?

Who uses faxes anymore, anyway?

And who knows why someone passed it along to TheWrap?

But it’s indisputably fascinating, especially in light of the merger with Endeavor and the dumping of dozens of Morris agents in the past few weeks...

I still have in my files a list of salaries at the L.A. Times that fed gossip, rivalries and bitter clashes with editors for years after it leaked in the late 1970s or early 80s.

* Shouldn't have posted?: David Poland takes exception to The Wrap running the salaries "with no context or significance."
