What a truly gruesome Hollywood crime story…
It all started Wednesday when a woman’s body parts were found in a plastic bag by a dumpster in Encino, California. A homeless man was looking for recyclables in the trash area of a strip mall near Ventura Blvd when he came across human remains. It turned out to be a woman’s torso, dismembered.
Police reviewed surveillance footage of the area and quickly tracked down both a victim and a suspect.
The suspect was a man named Sam Haskell. Sam is connected to some real Hollywood power — or at least he was. His father, Sam Haskell, Sr., was a HUGELY powerful agent in his day, representing A-listers like George Clooney, Whoopi Goldberg, Ray Romano, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Dolly Parton. He also founded Magnolia Hill Productions. He was a pretty big deal, but he’s retired now — he was pushed out in 2017 after some offensive emails came to light in which, among other things, like mocking the weight of 2013’s Miss America winner. So we don’t expect any weight to be thrown around to shield his son.

ill-advised Instagram posts was made to go on a listening tour of Jewish leaders, sources tell The Post.CAA agent Maha Dakhil, 48, who represents A-listers including Tom Cruise and Madonna, is still working at the firm, despite resigning from its internal board after coming under fire for her posts.We’re told she went to meet Hollywood rabbi, Steve Leder, of Wilshire Boulevard Temple, as well as Jonathan Greenblatt, the chief executive of the Anti Defamation League.A company source told us: “Maha has divided CAA — there are some Jewish agents who feel very strongly that she should learn from what she did and that she should definitely be sanctioned, if not sacked.“But there was also a feeling that CAA had to be careful because they could face rebellion from staff who thought that Maha was being muzzled from expressing her own opinions.”Dakhil’s actions led to Oscar-winning “The Social Network” writer Aaron Sorkin quitting CAA in protest and jumping over to rival WME.The source said: “Maha looked like she was going to be the next heir apparent at CAA, and one f-up has called her judgement into question.“At work, she’s always been very professional, but she’s rubbed some people the wrong way and tended to make herself the story, with selfies with the stars and attending all the parties.”As for now, Dakhil has wiped her Instagram of all her starry photos and has not posted since the debacle.The Post has reached out to CAA for comment.And while Hollywood gets back to work after the strike, CAA has more issues as the agency is being sued by actress Julia Ormond over convicted rapist and former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.The complaint, filed last month, alleges that CAA top brass, Bryan Lourd and Kevin Huvane encouraged her
