    [synopsis] => Few people have influenced Hollywood history than

Douglas Fairbanks. And who better than his niece and Fairbanks family

historian, Letitia, to relate that story? On-screen and offscreen, he was a

force of nature, progressing in easy leaps and bounds from the Broadway

stage to silent movies when feature-length film was just a few years old.

His happy, healthy characters and acrobatic acting style brought a new

energy to the medium. But it was through his extraordinary success as a

producer that Fairbanks achieved the goal of all creative people: to run

his own show. This he did by co-founding United Artists in 1919 with his

soon-to-be wife Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin, and D. W. Griffith. As

a producer, he showed visionary taste, collaborating with his directors

and designers to enact gallant tales in spectacular settings. Whether he

played a young man on the go or a swashbuckling hero in a fairy-tale

land, Fairbanks-one of the thirty-six founders of the Academy of Motion

Picture Arts and Sciences-put America's hopes and dreams on film. This

updated version of the original 1953 biography has been expanded by

the Fairbanks family with archival materials as well as never-before-seen

photographs from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences,

Margaret Herrick Library.
