American comic actor, fittingly born a Leo in New York City, he is best remembered today for his role as the Cowardly Lion (and the farm-worker Zeke) in the classic 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, but known during his life for a career in burlesque, vaudeville, and Broadway. He later remarked, After The Wizard of Oz I was typecast as a lion, and there aren't all that many parts for lions.

Marcus Loew was born in New York City into a poor Polish Jewish family who had settled in New York City the year before. He was forced by circumstances to work at a very young age and had little formal education.

Shortly after, in partnership with Adolph Zukor and others, Loew acquired a nickelodeon and over time he turned Loew's Theaters into a leading chain of vaudeville and movie theaters in the United States. A few years later, he acquired a controlling interest in the financially troubled Goldwyn Picture Corporation which at that point was controlled by theater impresario Lee Shubert. Mayer's company folded into Metro Goldwyn with two notable additions: Mayer Pictures' contracts with key directors such as Fred Niblo and John M.

Stahl, and up-and-coming actress Norma Shearer, later married to Thalberg. Mayer would eventually be rewarded by having his name added to the company.

Would act as MGM's financier and retain controlling interest for decades. While immediately successful, Loew didn't live to see the powerhouse that MGM was to become. He died three years later of a heart attack at the age of 57 in Glen Cove, New York.
