When William Morris agent Scott Lambert first met Alexandra Milchan at the Sundance Film Festival a decade ago, he was smitten by her French accent, sophistication and beauty. The admiration wasn’t mutual. “She said there were two people she’d been warned to stay away from, and I was one of them,” says Lambert. “It took a year to get her to go out with me. I wasn’t allowed to come to the house for another.” The daughter of industrialist-turned-Hollywood mogul Arnon Milchan explains how romance blossomed: “Scott was funny and good-looking, but he was pretty lazy, a waste of talent. I came from a family where generosity only came if you worked hard. Scott realized that and turned himself around.” Indeed. He now makes deals for the likes of Scarlett Johansson and Sharon Stone. “I created a monster,” she laughs. “My father said never marry an agent, but Scott became his beloved son, and I am a bit jealous of their relationship.” When Alexandra was an exec at her father’s production company, New Regency, the mix of business and personal life hit rough spots. It got easier when she became a producer. “I thought it would be horrible to be married to someone in the business, but it’s great,” she says. Now they go everywhere together while applying lessons learned. She bites her tongue during his dinners with clients who’d be perfect in one of her movies. He does the same for her and benefits from added opportunities for humility: “We were out with friends and we told them our son’s name was Jagger Dov Milchan Lambert. One said that the ‘Lambert’ was silent. That put me in my place.”
