Meet Hollywood’s First Agent for Intimacy Coordinators

As one of the first intimacy coordinators in a rapidly growing and buzzy new role in Hollywood, Amanda Blumenthal has made it her business to educate the industry and ensure sex scenes in film and TV are managed safely. Now she’s taken that business to the next level, becoming the first and only licensed agent in Hollywood representing intimacy coordinators. In addition to her own work as an intimacy coordinator acting as a liaison between actors and productions to ensure scenes involving nudity or intimacy are performed safely, she now represents a new generation of professionals and works to place them on shows and films. If you haven’t heard Blumenthal’s name, you’ve seen her work. She was the first intimacy coordinator working in Los Angeles dating back to 2018, working on shows like “The L Word,” “How to Get Away With Murder,” “For All Mankind” and “Carnival Row.” She also consulted directly with SAG-AFTRA in shaping the guidelines for intimacy coordination that the union released last month.
