UA was formed by Hollywood greats Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and D.W. Griffith in 1919, to give actors freedom of expression and greater control over their work. The artists were spurred to action as established Hollywood producers and distributors were tightening their control on actors’ salaries and creative input. In 2006, UA was re-born under the helm of Tom Cruise, a Chief Executive Officer and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. (MGM).
The studio became recognised for quality film-making, and went on to be responsible for some of the finest films of all time attracting Hollywood’s finest actors (Robert De Niro, Sidney Poitier, Marlon Brando, Dustin Hoffman) and directors (Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen). It now boasts an incredible library of nearly 1000 feature films with more than 80 Academy Award®-winning classics. |
