[Slithy_Tove]

1. Who founded MGM?

2. Who founded Paramount?

3. Who founded RKO?

4. Who founded 20th Century Fox?

5. Louis B Mayer, Samuel Goldwyn, and Marcelle Metro: the world’s first metrosexual, who’d lost his first fortune by running trains underneath Paris, but soon recouped his losses by first digging tunnels.

6. [peanut butter]Awwon Buhh![/peanut butter]

7. Not founded: ooozed up organically from the Labrea tarpits

8. Inadvertently, Consuella Vanderbilt’s cat. Consuella would dangle her pearls for puss to swat, breaking the string. For years, an enterprising immigrant sifted through the discarded vaccum cleaner bags, and eventually accumulated enough capital to open a movie studio. 20th Century “Cat” just didn’t have the right sound, so the immigrant, a furrier by trade, opted for fox.
