From New York Times bestselling author Scott Eyman, this is the
story one of the most influential studios in film history, from its
glory days under the leadership of legendary movie mogul Darryl F.
Zanuck up to its 2019 buyout by Disney.
March 20, 2019 marked the end of an era -- Disney took ownership of the
movie empire that was Fox. For almost a century before that historic
date, Twentieth Century-Fox was one of the preeminent producers of
films, stars, and filmmakers. Its unique identity in the industry and
place in movie history is unparalleled -- and one of the greatest
stories to come out of Hollywood. One man, a legendary producer named
Darryl F. Zanuck, is the heart of the story. This narrative tells the
complete tale of Zanuck and the films, stars, intrigue, and innovations
of the iconic studio that was.
