  • Famous Players-Lasky Corporation was an American motion picture and distribution company created on July 19, 1916 from the merger of Adolph Zukor's Famous Players Film Company -- originally formed by Zukor as Famous Players in Famous Plays -- and Jesse L. Lasky's Feature Play Company. The deal, guided by president Zukor, eventually resulted in the incorporation of eight film production companies, making the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation one of the biggest players of the silent film era. Famous Players-Lasky, under the direction of Zukor, is perhaps best known for its vertical integration of the film industry and illegal block booking practices. In September 1927, Famous Players-Lasky was reorganized under the name Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation, later becoming the Paramount Pictures Corporation (now a division of Viacom). The Balaban and Katz Historical Foundation now owns the Famous Players trademark. The former Famous Players-Lasky Movie Ranch at Lasky Mesa in the Simi Hills is now within the Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve. The Astoria studio was designated a national historic district and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The district encompasses six contributing buildings.
  • Famous Players-Lasky oli yhdysvaltalainen elokuvien tuotanto- ja jakeluyhtiö, joka syntyi heinäkuussa 1916, kun Famous Players-Lasky Film Company, Bosworth Incorporated, The Oliver Morosco Photoplay Company ja Pallas Pictures fuusioituivat. Myöhemmin samana vuonna yritykseen yhdistyi myös Paramount Pictures, joka toimi elokuvien jakelijana. Vuonna 1927 yrityksen nimi muuttui muotoon Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation. Vuonna 1930 se hankki omistukseensa Publix-elokuvateatteriketjun ja yrityksen uudeksi nimeksi tuli Paramount-Publix. Paramount-Publix joutui konkurssiin 1933, mutta Adolph Zukor onnistui pelastamaan yrityksen, jonka nimeksi tuli 1935 uudelleenjärjestelyjen jälkeen Paramount Pictures, jonka nykyään omistaa Viacom.
