Paramount Pictures

In 1968 Paramount Pictures was floundering as the 9th studio in Hollywood, year in which Robert Evans was hired by Charles Bluhdorn of Gulf Western to run it.  In less than 4 years Robert Evans turned it into the number 1 studio in Hollywood with such pictures as The Godfather, Love Story, The Great Gatsby, Serpico, and many others.  There, he was the boss of Barry Diller and Michael Eisner who, like him, later went on to produce pictures that  transformed American and world culture.
