520 A tale of business genius and personal greed that brings
to light not only the way Joseph P. Kennedy made his
fortune, but how he forever changed the business of movie-
making. Between 1926 and 1930, Kennedy--merciless,
electrifying, a visionary--used his talents to position
himself as a Hollywood leader. By 1928, at age 40, he was
running three studios at once. Biographer Beauchamp writes
about the genius behind Kennedy's profiteering and his
importance in changing the way Hollywood conducted
business. As one of the first nonfamily members to be
given access to Kennedy's personal papers, Beauchamp has
dug through the files of memos and notes to tell how he
made it all happen: how he charmed, cajoled, and bullied;
how he juggled various backers--and managed to line his
pockets with millions. Beauchamp writes about the movies
Kennedy produced and the stars he made, about the jobs
lost and the careers ruined.--From publisher description.
