Vaudeville led to Lasky's involvement with the motion picture business. In 1913 Lasky joined his brother-in-law Samuel Goldfish (later Goldwyn) and his best friend Cecil B. DeMille to form The Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company. Director General DeMille took his cast and crew west, rented a barn on Selma and Vine, and made Hollywood's first feature film, The Squaw Man. In 1916 they joined with Adolph Zukor's Famous Players Film Company to create the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, which then merged with Paramount Pictures.  Paramount Pictures.
