Poetic Obituaries: After moving to Los Angeles during the early 1940s,

he [Harold Berkowitz] took a job in the accounting department at Paramount before hooking up with Leon Kaplan and eventually opening what would become one of Hollywood's first high-profile entertainment firms, Kaplan, Livingston, Goodwin, Berkowitz & Selvin. It became the springboard for many of the town's top lawyers, including talent dealmaker Skip Brittenham and longtime Warner Bros. general counsel John Schulman.

He later worked at Loeb & Loeb.

Berkowitz had offices in Beverly Hills and Paris--he also made deals in England and worked with James Bond producer Cubby Broccoli. Berkowitz, also a painter and poet, continued working into his 90s.
