Not that likely, phone would probably have run out of battery by then
No but in all seriousness, several phone companies have deliberate protections against this. 3 for example terminate all calls after exactly 120 minutes, O2 sometimes seems to after 60 minutes so you can't "accidentally" forget to hang up and leave a call running forever.

That's a very old issue which no longer applies in the vast majority of cases. The recipient can almost always hang up, so the question here is why they did not.

I partly agree here. Conditional on the fact that either party can hang up whenever they want, it's none of the phone company's business how long people choose to stay on the phone for.
I think the issue here is why neither party hung up after what was presumably 75 minutes of pocket rustling. I would personally lay blame on the entertainment agency (or their call handling system) for failing to hang up - if I receive a customer call that is silent or suddenly drops dead, I tend to hang up within 60 seconds not leave it running for 90 minutes...
