Adolph Zukor Facts
Paramount Pictures sold the candles on Zukor's 100th- birthday cake for $1,000 each, and then donated the proceeds to charity.

He was credited as presenter to Paramount cartoons from 1935 to 1939. These cartoons were acquired by television distributors U.M.&M., National Telefilm Associates, and Associated Artists Productions, in 1955. The TV distributors were instructed to remove all evidence of Paramount's involvement in the cartoons. The "Adolph Zukor Presents" byline was kept on, but the "Paramount Presents" bylines were blacked out. The TV distributors apparently did not think that anyone would recognize Zukor as Paramount's chairman.
