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. 600 10 Kennedy, Joseph P.|q(Joseph Patrick),|d1888-1969|xCareer in the motion picture industry. 600 30 Kennedy family. 650 0 Irish Americans|zCalifornia|zLos Angeles|vBiography. 650 0 Capitalists and financiers|zCalifornia|zLos Angeles |vBiography. 650 0 Businessmen|zCalifornia|zLos Angeles|vBiography. 651 0 Hollywood (Los Angeles, Calif.)|vBiography. 651 0 Los Angeles (Calif.)|vBiography. 856 42 |3Contributor biographical information|uhttp://www.loc.gov /catdir/enhancements/fy0906/2008032828-b.html 856 42 |3Publisher description|uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/ enhancements/fy0906/2008032828-d.html 856 42 |3sample text|uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/ fy0906/2008032828-s.html 935 .o14116054 946 PFA E748.K376B43 2009.
