Description
Papa Carl, as he was known to his employees, was the founding father of Universal Pictures. An extraordinary success story, Laemmle took a $3,600 investment in a nickelodeon and turned it into millions. His will, drafted between 1937-39 is 40 detailed-laden pages, plus 5 codicils (an additional 10 pages) plus the Petition for Probate and a very interesting 2 page accounting of monies passed between Laemmle and his brother Siegfried in Bavaria.
