Biographer Vanda Krefft discussed the life and legacy of the founder of Fox Film Corporation in her book, The Man Who Made the Movies: The Meteoric Rise and Tragic Fall of William Fox. In this illustrated conversation, she argued that Fox’s contributions to the early motion picture industry were largely forgotten after the 1929 stock market crash resulted in a hostile takeover of his company, which later became Twentieth Century Fox.
