The most influential Greek immigrant in American history and one of America’s preeminent citizens during the Cold War period Spyros P. Skouras is being captured in a book. Authored by Ilias Chrissochoidis, the memoirs takes a look at his astonishing sixty-year career in his own words.
Skouras shaped two industries (film and shipping), turned Twentieth Century-Fox into a global film leader, saved Hollywood by introducing CinemaScope, masterminded Century City in Los Angeles, and, last but not least, helped save millions of Greeks from starvation and disease during World War II.
For the first time his story is being told in his own words and in full detail. Coinciding with the 120th anniversary of Skouras’ birth, this book is a valuable contribution to Greek diaspora historiography that will inspire younger generations to pursue the intertwined ideals of business excellence and public service.
