Joseph Michael Schenck (; December 25, 1876[1]
Life and career
[ edit ]
Schenck was born to a Jewish family[2] in Rybinsk , Yaroslavl Oblast , Russian Empire . He emigrated to New York City on July 19, 1892, under the name Ossip Schenker ;[3] Nicholas eventually got into the entertainment business, operating concessions at New York's Fort George Amusement Park . Recognizing the potential, in 1909 the Schenck brothers purchased Palisades Amusement Park and afterward became participants in the fledgling motion picture industry in partnership with Marcus Loew , operating a chain of movie theaters.
In 1916, through his involvement in the film business, Joseph Schenck met and married Norma Talmadge , a top young star with Vitagraph Studios . He would be the first of her three husbands, but she was his only wife. Schenck supervised, controlled and nurtured her career in alliance with her mother.[4] Palm Springs, California .[4] [5]
After parting ways with his brother, Joseph Schenck moved to the West Coast where the future of the film industry seemed to lie. Within a few years Schenck was made the second president of the new United Artists .[6]
The Political Graveyard reports that he was an alternate delegate from California to the 1928 Republican National Convention .[citation needed
In 1933 he partnered with Darryl F. Zanuck to form Twentieth Century Pictures to produce motion pictures for United Artists , until 20th Century merged with Fox Film in 1935. As chairman of the new 20th Century Fox , he was one of the most powerful and influential people in the film business. Caught in a payoff scheme to buy peace with the militant unions , he was convicted of income tax evasion and spent time in prison before being granted a presidential pardon . Following his release, he returned to 20th Century Fox where he became infatuated with the then unknown Marilyn Monroe , and played a key role in launching her career.[7]
Honors
[ edit ]
One of the founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences , in 1952 he was given a special Academy Award in recognition of his contribution to the development of the film industry. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6757 Hollywood Blvd.
Death
[ edit ]
Schenck retired in 1957 and shortly afterward suffered a stroke, from which he never fully recovered. He died in Los Angeles in 1961 at the age of 84, and was interred in Maimonides Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York .
