| | RKO Pictures Corporation |
 | | In 1952, Howard Hughes sold RKO Pictures, Inc., now a separate entity entirely from the RKO Theaters, Corp., to General Teleradio, Inc., a subsidiary of General Tire and Rubber, thus creating RKO Teleradio, Inc. Then, RKO was sold to Desilu Productions for television production of "I Love Lucy". |
 | | By the late 1980s Pavilion Communications owned most of what remained of RKO and many of the property rights had already been purchased by Ted Turner. |
 | | During the 30s and 40s RKO hit its zenith with productions including Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers musicals, high quality horror shows, comedies with Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant and the stellar productions of Welles' "Citizen Kane" and Hitchcock's "Suspicion." About Specimens Specimen Certificates are actual certificates that have never been issued. |
