Summary: This listing of cinematic luminaries, ranked in order by the sheer magnitude of their impact on the motion picture industry, examines all of the significant developments in filmmaking and sheds a surprising new light on many familiar faces. The first name on the list is W.K. Laurie Dickson, who made himself an assistant to Thomas Edison specifically in order to seek out a method for recording the moving image. Also included are lovable silent-screen urchin Jackie Coogan (79), involved in a landmark legal decision that forever protected the rights of child actors; Mike Todd (53), the daring showman who championed wide-screen and new sound processes as a way to stave off television's encroachments on movie profits; the relentless Richard Hollingshead (92), whose open-air drive-in movie theaters became a distinct part of American culture; and Saul Bass (56), whose influence was much broader than his famous title animations.
