When Fox Made the Wrong Bets — and Wound Up In a Hostile Takeover
#Business #BusinessNews #HollywoodHistory -
#OnThisDay, 24 June 1916, Mary Pickford becomes the first Hollywood star to sign a million-dollar contract.
This is Pickford, who was a queen of PR as well as the screen.
At the time, standard studio contracts were for a year. She signed a *two-year* contract as both an actor *and* a producer. That bumped its value across the $1m barrier and got her the headlines.

As well as scriptwriting, Moon achieved critical success with her 1929 novel DARK STAR – “an uncompromising picture of rural life… it explores the precarious social structures, sexual instabilities & surface hypocrisies that shape its confines”. It was adapted for the screen as MIN & BILL (1930), starring Marie Dressler & Wallace Beery
