He was the founder of the Famous Players Film Company, which later merged with J.L. Lasky's Feature Play Company to later become known as Paramount Pictures, Incorporated. This volume tells the fascinating life story of the man behind the movies. Their first production was 1913's "The Prisoner of Zenda," which also reaped a sizable box office reward. The following year, Zukor and Jesse L. Lasky's Feature Player Company signed deals with Paramount Pictures Corporation to distribute their films throughout the United States. He signed many of the top stars of the period, including Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolph Valentino and Gloria Swanson.
