  Carl Laemmle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carl Laemmle (January 17, 1867 - September 24, 1939) born in Laupheim, Württemberg, Germany, was a pioneer in American film making and a founder of one of the original major Hollywood movie studios.
Regarded as one of the most important of the early film pioneers, Laemmle was born on the Radstrasse in the Jewish quarter of Laupheim, Germany.
Laemmle remained connected to his home town of Laupheim throughout his life, by financial support and also by sponsoring hundreds of Jews from Laupheim and Württemberg to emigrate from Nazi Germany to the U.S. (which meant paying both emigration and immigration fees), thus saving them from the Holocaust.

While Laemmle was the primary figure in Universal, by absorbing several smaller firms he acquired a number of partners, among them Mark Dintinfass, Charles Baumann and Adam Kessel, and Pat Powers.
Despite Laemmle's role as an innovator, as a studio head he was extremely cautious, and within a few years the rapidly expanding film business had passed him by.

Carl Laemmle, the German immigrant who founded Universal Film Manufacturing Co. with a handful of other independent-minded producers in 1912, was in his prime a scrappy entrepreneur who had the courage to stand up to the Thomas Edison-controlled film trust that sought to stifle competition from startup movie companies.

Uncle Carl was heading into his last difficult years as the head of Universal by the time The Hollywood Reporter arrived on the scene in 1930 as the first Hollywood-based daily film trade newspaper.
