Synopsis

Growing up in small-town Texas, Jason Felts dreamed of being in Hollywood. He made his way to California, started his own production company at twenty-three, was named to Variety's "Top 10 to Watch" list, rubbed elbows with famous faces daily, and rose quickly to build and lead a multi-million dollar entertainment company for Virgin, one of the world's most respected brands—so why did he walk away at such a young age? Jason recounts how he diligently pursued opportunities in the entertainment industry, quickly working his way up from small-time, thankless jobs serving the most powerful, to becoming a key industry player himself, making incredible things happen behind the scenes that no one ever knew—until now. Join him as he spills never-told-before tea, sharing how he lost his Hollywood virginity.

Hollywood Virgin is Jason's journey of discovering what happens when you achieve more than you imagined and find that the excess isn't enough. This raw and real insider look provides a peek behind the scenes of an industry very few really know. Jason elegantly removes the concealer off the powerful, fake, and dishonest power players at the same time he equally shines light on the authentic, selfless, or lesser known stories in Hollywood. For all those working hard towards fulfilling their dreams, learn and be inspired from his anything-but-straightforward career.

Goodreads review by Cassidy on March 09, 2025

I almost didn’t request an advanced copy of this book because I wasn’t sure I would be able to give an unbiased review. Unlike the reviewers before me I have definitely heard of Jason Felts because we went to high school together. We certainly weren’t close friends but we were acquaintances and I wa......more

Goodreads review by Ashby on March 15, 2025

These days, it feels like everyone who "makes it" in Hollywood has some kind of advantage from the start—whether they're a nepo baby, their best friend's dad is a big-shot director, or they leveraged a massive social media following into a career. But Jason Felts? Nope. He came from a small town in......more

Goodreads review by Emma on March 17, 2025

I did not expect to be crying at the end of this book. I requested it and then promptly forgot what it was about, and am so glad I went into it almost blind. Hollywood Virgin in Jason Felts’ memoir about his life dreaming about Hollywood and then making those dreams come true through sheer force of......more
