John McCormick (producer)
John McCormick (August 17, 1893 – May 3, 1961) was an American film producer associated with the Hollywood studio First National Pictures. Biography He was born John Emmett McCormick on August 17, 1893 in Kansas City, Missouri. McCormick was a press agent, production manager and film producer in the 1920s. From 1923 to 1930, McCormick was married to Colleen Moore, one of the highest-paid and most popular stars of the silent era. When they married, McCormick was just Moore's press agent, but he later took control of her career.

Their marriage was under increasing strain, and in 1930, the couple divorced. His relationship with Moore is believed to have been the basis for the film '' What Price Hollywood?'' (1932).

What was perhaps her most celebrated film, ''Flaming Youth (film), Flaming Youth'' (1923), is now mostly lost as well, with only one reel surviving. Moore took a hiatus from acting between 1929 and 1933, just as sound was being added to motion pictures. After she returned, her four sound pictures released in 1933 and 1934 were not financial successes. She then retired permanently from screen acting. After her film career, Moore maintained her wealth through astute investments, becoming a partner of Merrill Lynch. She later wrote a "how-to" book about inves ...
