	Harry Cohn - Biography - Moviefone
		In 1924, the Cohn brothers and Brandt bought a tiny studio on Gower Street in Los Angeles, and an adjoining apartment building; thus was born Columbia Pictures.
		Cohn's studio was the only major to reap profits during the Depression, and by the '50s Columbia was the most profitable operation in Hollywood.
		Though his enemies were legion, Harry Cohn, with his rare ability and understanding of Hollywood and the hit-making process, was truly one of the industry's greats and for that he was greatly respected.

		Harry Cohn grew up in poverty, got a job as a trolley conductor (stealing most of the fares) and then a song plugger for sheet music publishers.
		It took Oscar, not Temple, to bring Harry Cohn into the Hollywood establishment with "It Happened One Night." And even then his victory was tarnished by having to share it with Capra.
		But by the end of the HUAC hearings Cohn had no choice, so that, in the 1950s, when actor Larry Parks crawled through the mud and offered to abrogate his contract with Columbia, Cohn accepted and Parks' film career was ended.

	The Lady from Shanghai
		Harry Cohn, Columbia’s production chief, financially supported Welles’ play Around the World in 80 Days, but it was a disaster, so Welles essentially owed Cohn a favor.
		Cohn’s obsession with the film’s leading lady, Rita Hayworth, who was still married to Welles during the shooting, also lured his support.
		It never did, although Cohn did exhaust his resources to preserve Hayworth’s reputation, which he believed was damaged due to Welles’ casting of her in the role of a femme fatale and then tampering with her legendary hair.

		In 1920, Harry Cohn leased a tiny studio on Sunset Boulevard between Gower Street and Beachwood Drive.
		Columbia Pictures was unique in that Harry Cohn, in charge of production, was also president of the company; his was the only studio that did not have to look to corporate overseers in the east for budgeting or policy decisions.

	Judi Hoffman Introduces From Here to Eternity
		When Harry Cohn, president of Columbia Pictures, bought the film rights to the novel for $82,000, the project became known as "Cohn's folly." Cohn, for those of you not familiar with the movie mogul, had a reputation built on aggressive, rude, and tyrannical behavior.
		Cohn rejected several writers' treatments of the novel--including one by Jones himself--before accepting a screenplay by Daniel Taradash that managed to retain the spirit of the novel and appease the Breen Office censors by getting rid of the novel's profanity and its frank portrayal of prostitution.
		To use Zinnemann's words, the production crew "thought that Cohn had gone mad." There was no air-conditioning in the theater, and, according to the director, no one had ever thought of releasing a major film in mid-summer.

		Naming a building after legendary director Frank Capra was an obvious choice given the remarkable success of the films he made for studio chief Harry Cohn and Columbia Pictures.
		The front of the Cohn building, named after Columbia Pictures co-founder Harry Cohn, is an exact replica of the studio’s main entrance on “Poverty Row,” a stretch of production companies on Gower Street that established themselves by making a slew of low-budget, genre films.
		The front of the Cohn building also bears plaques honoring brothers Harry and Jack Cohn, who, along with partner Joe Brandt, formed CBC Sales Co. in 1919.

		For unknown reasons, Harry Cohn, prickly president of Columbia pictures, is listed as the director of several of his studio's late-silent releases.
		Though attributed to Cohn by the editors of the trade magazine Variety, Columbia's Rich Men's Sons was actually directed by Ralph Graves, who also co-wrote and starred in the picture.
		By this time, however, Graves has made good on his own, so dad is willing to forgive and forget (even if the audience isn't!).
