16. Jesse Louis Lasky (1880-1958) of the Producers Branch with Otto Kruger (1885-1974) during the production of SPRINGTIME FOR HENRY (1934).
Jesse L. Lasky was perhaps the first Hollywood mogul, and while he did not retain control of the company he had founded, Lasky was one of the giants of early Hollywood. As studio chief at Paramount (as Famous Players-Lasky became), he has 477 credits at IMDb, with 140 credits as a producer. Among the films with which he was associated: THE SQUAW MAN (1914), WHY CHANGE YOUR WIFE? (1920), BLOOD AND SAND (1922), PETER PAN (1924), IT (1927), THE COCOANUTS (1929), and BERKELEY SQUARE (1933).
