Academy Founders 9
N.B. The member numbers follow The Internet Movie Database's list order announcing the Academy in January 1927.
9. Henry King (1886-1982) of the Directors Branch. The photo is by Woodbury Studio.
Harry King was a reliable spotter of talent, picking out Ronald Colman, Gary Cooper, and Tyrone Power (Jr.), among others. As with Cecil B. DeMille, the Academy was chary with honors: King was twice nominated for Oscars, but never won as Best Director. That said, in 1956 the Directors Guild of America honored him for lifetime achievement.
