| | Samuel Goldwyn |
 | | Penniless immigrant, whose name was changed to Samuel Goldfish by an immigration clerk, turned successful glove salesman who entered films in 1912, persuading his father-in-law, impressario Jesse L. Lasky, then a theatrical producer, to establish a production and distribution company. |
 | | Undaunted, Goldwyn founded his own corporation, Samuel Goldwyn Inc., and this time steered a completely independent path, appointing neither studio bosses nor a board of directors. |
 | | Goldwyn also recruited some of the finest writers in the business, including Sinclair Lewis, Ben Hecht, Lillian Hellman and Sidney Kingsley. |
