Adolph Zukor (January 7, 1873 – June 10, 1976) was an American film mogul and founder of Paramount Pictures.
Zukor was born to a Jewish family in Ricse, Hungary, which was then a part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. In 1889, at the age of 16, he promised Mella Baumoel, a girl almost 4 years older than he, that he would send for her one-day and they would be married, and he emigrated to the United States. Like most immigrants, he began modestly. When he first landed in New York, he stayed with his family and worked in an upholstery shop. A friend got him a job as an apprentice at a furrier. Mella arrived in the U.S. too late to wed him; they never spoke again.
Zukor stayed there for two years. When he left to become a "contract" worker, sewing fur pieces and selling them himself, he was nineteen years old and an accomplished designer. He was young and adventuresome, and the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago drew him to the Midwest. There he started a fur business. In the second season of operation, Zukor's Novelty Fur Company expanded to 25 men and opened a branch.
Charlton Heston (born John Charles Carter; October 4, 1923 – April 5, 2008) was an American actor and political activist.
As a Hollywood star he appeared in 100 films over the course of 60 years. He played Moses in the epic film, The Ten Commandments (1956), for which he received his first Golden Globe Award nomination. He also starred in Touch of Evil (1958) with Orson Welles; Ben-Hur, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor (1959); El Cid (1961); and Planet of the Apes (1968). He also starred in the films The Greatest Show on Earth (1952); Secret of the Incas (1954); The Big Country (1958); and The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965).
A supporter of Democratic politicians and civil rights in the 1960s, Heston later became a Republican, founding a conservative political action committee and supporting Ronald Reagan. Heston's most famous role in politics came as the five-term president of the National Rifle Association, from 1998 to 2003. After being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2003, he retired from both acting and the NRA presidency. Heston died on April 5, 2008, aged 84, from pneumonia.

Made by Laszlo Kerenyi (Hungary) Adolph Zukor and William Fox, Hungarian-born Hollywood studio founders, played a great part in organization of the american film making. Only a few people know that both of them were born in Zemplén of Northern Hungary. Zukor was born in Ricse, Fox was born in Tolcsva. Hopefully this two villages will be places of pilgrimage for film makers of the world in the immediate future.

A Magyar Hollywood Tanács 2017. évi első programját a Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén megyei Ricse nagyközségben tartotta, ahol 144 éve, 1873. január 7-én látta meg a napvilágot Adolph Zukor, aki a legnagyobb amerikai filmstúdió, a Paramount Pictures alapítójaként, majd elnökeként vált világhírűvé. A Magyar Hollywood Tanács és a Ricsei Önkormányzat közös rendezvényén először Vécsi István polgármester méltatta a község nagy szülöttjének életművét.

"Snow White" (1916) is an American silent film made by Famous Players-Lasky Corporation and produced by Adolph Zukor and Daniel Frohman. The film was directed by J. Searle Dawley, from the Grimm brothers story. Winthrop Ames adapted it to the screen from his play "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" that he had written under the pseudonym "Jessie Graham White" and had produced in 1912 at his Little Theatre on Broadway. This film was Walt Disney's inspiration for "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" when he saw the Marguerite Clark version as a 15-year-old newsboy. Marguerite Clark (February 22, 1883 – September 25, 1940) was an American stage and silent film actress. At age 33, it was relatively late in life for a film actress to begin a career with starring roles, but the diminutive Clark...
"The Blue Bird" is a 1918 silent film directed by Maurice Tourneur in the United States, under the auspices of producer Adolph Zukor and is one of the most beautiful, captivating phantasy films of all time. In 2004, this film was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in its National Film Registry. When poor old widow Berlingot asks Tyltyl and Mytyl, the young son and daughter of her more prosperous neighbors, for the loan of their pet bird to cheer up her ill daughter, Mytyl selfishly refuses. That night, when the children are asleep, the fairy Bérylune enters their home in the semblance of Berlingot, before transforming into her true beautiful appearance. She insists that the children search...

A very rare film in its entirety. The Blue Bird is a 1918 film directed by Maurice Tourneur in the United States, under the auspices of producer Adolph Zukor. The story begins with two children, Tyltyl and Mytyl, whom are sent out by the fairy Bérylune into various lands to search for the bluebird of happiness. Returning home empty-handed, the children see that the bird has been in a cage in their home the whole time. Tyltyl later gives the bird as a present to a sick neighbor. However, the bird flies away and never returns. The moral is that happiness comes more from the journey than the reward and that happiness is fleeting. The film was shot in Fort Lee, New Jersey when many early film studios in America's first motion picture industry were based there at the beginning of the 20th cent...

'Mary Pickford, The Muse of the Movies' traces the life and work of the legendary silent film star, movie pioneer, and keen business woman who co-created United Artists Studios. Pickford's life (1892-1979) also parallels an even larger story, the telling of the "birth of the cinema" itself. Mary, known as "America's Sweetheart" was the first actress to earn one million dollars during a single year, and the only star to ever receive a 50% profit share of her movies. Through restored vintage audio recordings, Pickford narrates her own story along with actor Michael York. Cameo interviews with Adolph Zukor, famed aviator Amelia Earhart, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Buddy Rogers, Lillian Gish, and rare home movies give the viewer an in depth look into the early world of American cinema. http://m...
