Samuel goldwyn biography book

Samuel Goldwyn, as a young man, really a boy, immigrated to the United States in the late 1890's, settling for while in Gloversville, NY (home of the American fine glove making industry), but soon moved to New York City, where he turned his successes with gloves into a passion for the movies.

He began working in the movie industry, working his way up as he learned. Eventually, he moved to Hollywood, where he soon was able to change from a successful run of making silent films to talking, and later to color, eventually making a successful, if reluctant move to television.

Meanwhile, he had become, perhaps, the most successful independent maker of high concept, audience friendly films, which often leColin Powell's journey from being the son of immigrant parents from Jamaica and growing up in a working class environment in Queens, New York, New York stands as a shining example of the possibilities for ambitious, upwardly mobile people.
