MGA Talent, originally "The Mary Grady Agency", was founded in 1959 by Hollywood Legend Talent Agent Mary Grady. As one of the oldest and most highly respected entertainment firms in Hollywood it has evolved into an elite management firm with a newly formed Production Division to personally serve actors, actresses, writers, directors and producers from all over the world.
In its early years, MGA was considered Hollywood’s Original Children’s Agency: a tradition that is still very important to MGA, as even today the company represents children, teens and young adults into their early 30’s. Mary’s own children were well known television stars as both young kids and young adults. Her son, Don Grady, was one the original members of Disney’s The Mickey Mouse Club and also played “Robbie Douglas” on the 1960’s TV hit series My Three Sons. Her daughter, Lani O’Grady, was probably most known for staring as “Dr. Mary Bradford” on Eight is Enough.
