Hollywood: 1913 to 1920
🎬⏳In 1913, Jesse Laskey created the The Jesse Lasky Feature Play Company and rented a small barn on the outskirts of Los Angeles. He had several business partners including Cecil B. DeMille and Samuel Goldwyn.
Their first major success was called The Squaw Man, released in 1914. In 1916, the company combined with the Famous Players Company in New York which was founded around the same time and was led by Adolf Zukor and the Frohman Brothers. The Famous Players company produced their first hit film in 1913 called The Count of Monte Cristo.
The Laskey-Famous Players company experienced success and they built a new studio in New York in 1920 that today is known as the Kaufman-Astoria and also built a studio in London.
The Laskey-Famous Players company continued producing films in the 1920s and eventually became known as Paramount Pictures.
