A year later, Zukor began distributing his films through a start-up company called Paramount Pictures.In 1916, Zukor’s Famous Players merged with The Jesse L. Lasky Company, which was producing films in Hollywood (including the first feature-length film ever produced in Hollywood – The Squaw Man) and also using Paramount Pictures as a distributor. The newly formed Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, soon consolidated with the distribution company (in which Zukor was a major stockholder) and all three companies became what you now know as Paramount Pictures., basic_html 1912 - 1929 internal:/node/1457, Learn More 1912 - 1929 1749 1930 - 1959 left 1930 - 1959 The 30s through the mid-50s proved to be an immensely successful period for Paramount.
