'''Paramount Pictures''' is the second oldest-running movie studio in Hollywood (second only to [[Universal Pictures]], which was founded eight days earlier). Paramount traces its history back to May 8, 1912, when it was originally founded as '''Famous Players Film Company''' by Hungarian-born Adolph Zukor. He had been an early investor in nickelodeons (film theaters that cost 5 cents for admission), and saw that movies appealed mainly to working-class immigrants. With partners Daniel Frohman and Charles Frohman, he planned to offer motion pictures that would appeal to the middle class by featuring leading theatrical players of the time (leading to the slogan "famous players in famous plays"). By 1913, Famous Players had completed five films and Zukor was on his way to success. That same year, fellow aspiring producer Jesse L. Lasky opened the Lasky Feature Play Company with money borrowed from his brother-in-law - the founder of [[Goldwyn Pictures]] (later part of [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios]]) Samuel Goldfish (later known as Samuel Goldwyn). The Lasky company hired Cecil B. DeMille, a stage director with virtually no film experience, as their first employee; DeMille would find a suitable location site in Hollywood for his first film ''The Squaw Man'' (1914).
