Joseph P. Kennedy Presents: His Hollywood Years

Joseph P. Kennedyâ€™s reputation as a savvy businessman, diplomat, and sly political patriarch is well-documented.Â But his years as a Hollywood mogul have never been fully explored until now.Â

In Joseph P. Kennedy Presents, Cari Beauchamp brilliantly explores this unknown chapter in Kennedyâ€™s biography.Â Between 1926 and 1930, Kennedy positioned himself as a major Hollywood player. In two short years, he was running three studios simultaneously and then, in a bold move, he merged his studios with David Sarnoff to form the legendary RKO Studio.Â Beauchamp also tells the story of Kennedyâ€™s affair with Gloria Swanson; how he masterminded the mergers that created the blueprint for contemporary Hollywood; and made the fortune that became the foundation of his empire.
