His grandfather, Russian Jew: "Wasserman was the link between the Mafia, the Hollywood film industry and Reagan, who obtained very lucrative deals as an actor with Wasserman as his agent. By 1947, just after Al Capone died, and still with the help of his alliance with the underworld, Wasserman was instrumental in helping Reagan to become president of the Screen Actors Guild, which kicked-off Reagan's rise to power. Reagan allowed MCA to work both as a producer as well as an agent, which enabled the Mafia to earn a huge income."
Him: Casey Wasserman was the son of Jack Norman Myers (formerly Meyerowitz) and the LA socialite and philanthropist, Lynne Wasserman. After his father was convicted alongside reputed mobster Chris Petti of money-laundering, Casey Wasserman began using his mothers maiden name, most likely to escape his family ties to serious organized crime. In an interview with Jack Myers conducted by author Dennis McDougal, who wrote The Last Mogul, a biography of Lew Wasserman, Myers said:
“My son changed his name to Wasserman, I said, ‘Casey, first of all everyone will think you’re a fool if you do that. You look like an idiot.’”
Yet, Wasserman appeared more interested in obscuring his links to the mob than keeping his paternal name.

In 1952, Lew and Edie Wasserman founded the Wasserman Foundation, of which Casey Wasserman eventually became president and chief executive officer.
The Wasserman Foundation became a major contributor to the Los Angeles Police Foundation as well as a major donor to the Democratic Party.
On the Ghanaian leg of the trip, Casey traveled alongside his wife, movie music supervisor Laura Wasserman. Her grandfather had been the Democratic Party leader, Paul Ziffren, who was also the chairman of the group which had successfully won Los Angeles’ bid for the 1984 Olympics (Casey Wasserman was reported in 2016 as having led the effort for the 2024 bid). It was reported by
http://Variety.com on 13 October 2016 that:
“In 1991, Bill Clinton attended his first major introduction to Hollywood fundraising circles at the home, when the Wassermans hosted an event that August for the Democratic National Committee. They threw another fundraiser for him in August of 1992, and then after he won the presidency that December, according to Variety archives.”
The latter article also gave a clue to how important the Wasserman family dynasty had been for the manipulators of post-World War II political history, stating:
“Other guests at the home through the years including a host of governors and senators, as well as Henry Kissinger when he was secretary of state. [Jimmy] Carter was a largely unknown Georgia governor when he first met Lew Wasserman, but he said in a 1982 interview that Wasserman’s backing proved “extremely helpful.”
