Carl Laemmle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (337 words) |
 | Carl Laemmle (January 17, 1867 - September 24, 1939) born in Laupheim, Württemberg, Germany, was a pioneer in American film making and a founder of one of the original major Hollywood movie studios. |
| Regarded as one of the most important of the early film pioneers, Laemmle was born on the Radstrasse in the Jewish quarter of Laupheim, Germany. |
| Laemmle remained connected to his home town of Laupheim throughout his life, by financial support and also by sponsoring hundreds of Jews from Laupheim and Württemberg to emigrate from Nazi Germany to the U.S. (which meant paying both emigration and immigration fees), thus saving them from the Holocaust. |
