Ronnie Haran (born August 9th, 1942) is known for her careers as an actress. [1], photographer, publicist, talent booker, and talent manager [2]. Haran is also known for being one of the first female rock band managers, beginning her management career in 1965 [3]. She is credited with discovering and managing musical talent, including but not limited to, such as The Doors. [4], Love [3], and Van Morrison [5].
Haran began working as a publicist and then as the first booking agent for the West Hollywood Whisky a Go Go in the mid 1960s [2], helping the venue begin to book live bands in order to draw more customers.
Haran was born in the early 1940s, and spent her childhood in Brooklyn and New York City [5]. She began acting when she was a teenager, and took roles in TV shows including Ben Casey, Cheyenne, and The Fugitive [1].
During her 20s, Haran decided to transition away from her acting career [5]. Around this time, Elmer Valentine opened a new club named the Whisky a Go Go [2]. Haran began working as the Whisky’s assistant publicist shortly after it opened in 1964 [2].
When Haran began working at the Whisky, live music was reserved for special occasions [6], but she convinced Valentine to let her book local performers. She was able to book groups like the Young Rascals, Buffalo Springfield, and The Turtles, among others [7].
During her time at the Whisky, Haran was asked by Herbie Cohen (who was managing Arthur Lee of the band Love) to run Love's fan club [3]. After he met Haran, Lee asked if she would become manager of Love, and fired Cohen as his manager [3]. Haran assumed managerial duties for Love for several years [3].
In 1966, Haran went to see The Doors [8] who were playing in the London Fog, a club just up the street from the Whisky [9]. The Doors had just been fired by the London Fog that night, and were expecting that performance to be their last [9], but Haran offered to hire them as the house band at the Whisky [10].
The Doors aspired to emulate the success of Love, who were still managed by Haran at the time, and harbored hopes of securing a recording contract [11]. On their behalf, Haran approached Jac Holzman, the owner of Elektra Records [3]. Initially unimpressed, Holtzman eventually recognized the band's potential and signed them [12].
