A
Born in Warsaw, Poland, Schmuel Gelbfisz was the eldest child in a Jewish family. At an early age, he left home on foot, headed west, and ended up in England. He worked hard as a blacksmith (鐵匠). There he anglicized (使英國化) his name to Samuel Goldfish.
Two years later, Goldfish went on a journey on a ship to Nova Scotia, Canada. He headed south to New York, again on foot, in 1898. His American career began with him working as a floor sweeper in a glove factory. Three years later he was a star glove salesman.
In 1913, Goldfish, Jesse L. Lasky and Cecil B. DeMille formed the Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company. The three men began working on a movie Squaw Man. DeMille insisted that the movie be made in the real American West. Finally, they chose a quiet little town in southern California. It was called Hollywood. The company decided to build its studio in the town, and later Hollywood became the center of the movie industry. 
In 1916, Goldfish started a business with Edgar Selwyn. They combined their names Goldfish and Selwyn and called the new company Goldwyn. Samuel Goldfish liked the name and changed his to Samuel Goldwyn. In 1922, Goldwyn left the company and formed his own company Samuel Goldwyn Productions one year later. 
Goldwyn was one of the great independent producers during the “Golden Age” of Hollywood. Many of his films received Academy Awards. He employed top directors and actors to produce films of high quality. This became known as the “Goldwyn Touch”. He was also known for his sense of humor. He created many funny expressions. In Hollywood they are known as Goldwynisms.
