Freeman (1890-1969, born Young Frank Freeman) was an executive for
Paramount Pictures who headed the studio in the late 1950s. He helped push a
transformation in the studio system, which moved away from salaried and strictly
controlled producers to the use of outside production units. These
production companies were staffed by actors, directors and producers whom the
studios enticed with promises of independence and profit sharing. Freeman was
also the first winner of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts' Jean Hersholt
Humanitarian Award in 1956. Lightlytoned and creased. Random ink
stains. Staple holes and two binder holes at top edge. Folded twice and
unfolded. Otherwise in fine condition.
