William Fox (producer)
In 1927, 'Joseph P. Kennedy' (qv) contained by publish a run of lectures in the Harvard Graduate School of Business by the exploitation of representatives of all the baggy motion graphic decisive. 'Marcus Loew' (qv) and Fox, two immigrant who enjoy never all gone choral equipment rules arts school, be incorporated., 'Upton Sinclair' (qv) wrote a book about Fox's struggles, "Upton Sinclair Presents William Fox," based on five weeks of interviews with the former movie mogul. In the book, which was published in 1933, Fox charged that AT&T and the investment bank Halsey, Stuart & Co. entered into a conspiracy to take over his film empire and force him out so they could loot his assets. He claimed that the two culprits were in cahoots with duplicitous Fox Film executives, lawyers, financiers and government officials. The irony in Fox's case is that he had used exactly those devices in his machinations against 'Louis B. Mayer' (qv) and other studio executives., After going bankrupt in the early 1930s, in 1941 he was convicted of trying to bribe a bankruptcy judge and served a short term in prison., In 1929, Loew's Inc. President 'Nicholas Schenck' (qv) agreed to sell a controlling interest in the firm to Fox Film Corp. for $10 million that would have given Fox control of Loew's theater chain and its MGM studio subsidiary. Fox was interested in boxing in 'Adolph Zukor' (qv), owner of Paramount Pictures, who also was anxious to acquire Loew's. Fox claimed that the late 'Marcus Loew' (qv) (who died unexpectedly in 1927) and Zukor, who had been partners in vaudeville, had a gentleman's agreement in which their theater chains would only show each other's films and keep out other studios' pictures. Acquiring Loew's would allow Fox to release his pictures in the Loew's theater chain and force out Paramount product, thus giving him a competitive edge over Zukor and Paramount. Fox made an agreement with Schenck by which the Loew's boss would assemble enough shares of stock, in secret, to give Fox control. The $10-million price included a $2.5-million premium for Schenck. Fox planned to merge MGM with his own studio, a merger that would require the approval of the Justice Department's Anti-Trust Divison, which Fox expected would approve the deal despite the huge concentration of production and power it would put in the hands of one man and one studio. Fox lobbied the government in order to try to get the deal pushed through. When MGM studio boss 'Louis B. Mayer' (qv) got wind of the deal, he used his connections with the administration of US President 'Herbert Hoover (I)' (qv) to nix the deal, in order to protect himself from being forced out from his own company (as had happened to other studio moguls in the past, most notably 'Samuel Goldwyn' (qv), who had been squeezed out of both Paramount Pictures and his own Goldwyn Studios [which later became Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]). Fox had made a tactical error in trying to keep Mayer in the dark and forcing him out, and he tried to rectify that mistake by offering Mayer $2 million. Although Fox's political clout got him in to plead his case to President Hoover, Mayer's political connections proved to be the stronger. Fox's plan was done in when his creditors, to whom he owed more than $50 million due to expansion and the retrofitting of his studios and theaters for sound, began making financial demands. After at first seeming to go along with the acquisition, the Justice Department reversed course and filed an anti-trust suit against Fox, who had been hurt in a car crash in the summer and had had to convalesce for weeks. The stock market crash in October drove the final nails into the deal's coffin. By 1930 Fox was forced to sell the film company that bore his name, and several years later he went bankrupt. The financially troubled Fox Film Corp. was absorbed by 'Darryl F. Zanuck' (qv)'s much smaller 20th Century Pictures, creating 20th Century-Fox in 1935, with 'Joseph M. Schenck' (qv) as president. Joe Schenck's brother, Loew's President Nick Schenck, partially financed the deal. Mayer, on his part, would replace Zukor as the most powerful movie magnate in Hollywood in the 1930s and would become the highest paid corporate employee in America., Forced to sell the studio to bankers for $18 million in 1929 after losing his fortune in the stock market crash. He faced a federal antitrust investigation.

Zanuck' (qv)'s 20th Century Pictures merged with Fox Films, Fox bribe a good opinion as being during the liquidation of his holdings in liquidation suffering. His retribution, a year in cell, start in 1941. Paroled in 1943, he was a pariah in Hollywood. Though immobilize from his heaps patent holdings, the industry for which he had be hence idealist was closed to him. A virtual pariah at the time of his disgrace, no industry representational come to eulogize at his funeral.
Quotes:I always brag of the actuality that no second of those contained in the twenty-four hours ever passed but that the baptize of William Fox be next to the blind, one exhibit in a number of the stage in some cog of the world.
