Profile No. 1 · Outdoor advertising executive, Los Angeles
The Lord of the Sunset Strip
For half a century Brian Kennedy sold the most visible airspace in Los Angeles, then gave much of what it earned to people who could never have bought it: autistic children, cats that could not argue for themselves, a police unit that needed a building to train in, and a football field that carried his name. His supporters say the press has told a different story about him, and that the difference has cost him dearly.
