An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood by Neal Gabler (English)

Description: An Empire of Their Own by Neal Gabler Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The story of a handful of Jewish immigrants to the US from eastern Europe who created the Hollywood film industry. These men, including William Fox and Harry Warner, are its founding fathers. Neal Gabler draws on a host of fascinating anecdotes which provide an insight into the movie capital of the world. Publisher Description A provocative, original, and richly entertaining group biography of the Jewish immigrants who were the moving forces behind the creation of Americas motion picture industry. The names Harry Cohn, William Fox, Carl Laemmle, Louis B. Mayer, Jack and Harry Warner, and Adolph Zucker are giants in the history of contemporary Hollywood, outsiders who dared to invent their own vision of the American Dream. Even to this day, the American values defined largely by the movies of these émigrés endure in American cinema and culture. Who these men were, how they came to dominate Hollywood, and what they gained and lost in the process is the exhilarating story of An Empire of Their Own.
