Cohn, Harry

Cohn, Harry
(23 jul. 1891, Nueva York, N.Y., EE.UU.–27 feb. 1958, Phoenix, Ariz.).

Productor de cine estadounidense y cofundador de Columbia Pictures. Trabajó para una distribuidora de películas antes de cofundar la compañía C.B.C. Film Sales Co. (1920), que después se llamó Columbia Pictures Corp. En 1932 alcanzó la presidencia de la compañía y la convirtió en uno de los grandes estudios cinematográficos. A pesar de que encarnó el modelo del despiadado e inculto magnate de cine, se le atribuye el descubrimiento de muchas estrellas, como Rita Hayworth, y de promover a directores como Frank Capra.
