On 12 September 1902, Darryl F. Zanuck was born. Zanuck was a prominent Hollywood producer whose films included The Jazz Singer (1927), the first “talkie.” He also helped develop the Rin Tin Tin series.

After serving in Belgium during World War I, Zanuck had a series of jobs—including that of a professional boxer—before beginning his career in films. While working for Warner Brothers, he wrote as many as 19 scripts a year. Although he became head of production for Warner Brothers at the age of 24, it was clear that he would always be an “employee.” Because Zanuck with interested in having more control of his projects, he left Warner Brothers in 1933 and began Twentieth Century Fox Studios. Two years later, he acquired Fox Studios and their distribution network.

Many of Zanuck’s films dealt with social issues. The Grapes of Wrath (1940) dealt with a mid-west family who lost their farm during the Great Depression and became migrant workers in California. In Gentleman’s Agreement (1947) he took on the issue of anti-Semitism and in Pinky (1949) which was the story of a light-skinned African American woman who passed as white.
