More about Spyros P. Skouras:
Spyros Panagiotis Skouras (Greek: Σπύρος Σκούρας; March 28, 1893 – August 16, 1971) was a Greek American motion picture pioneer and movie executive who was the president of the 20th Century Fox from 1942 to 1962. He resigned June 27, 1962, but served as chairman of the company for several years. He also had numerous ships, owning
Prudential Shipping Lines (Pvt) Limited
.
Skouras and two brothers came to the United States as immigrants in 1910; Spyros kept such a pronounced Greek accent in English that comedian
Bob Hope
would joke "Spyros has been here twenty years but he still sounds as if he's coming next week." Skouras oversaw the production of such epics as
Cleopatra
(1963) with
Elizabeth Taylor
, as well as the development of Century City.
His grandchildren include Charles P. Skouras III, a film and television executive. His great-granddaughter
Marielle Skouras
has produced more than 25 television shows and created
Beverly Hills Pawn
, a hit reality show on
ReelzChannel
.
