About John McCormick (producer)

  • John McCormick (August 17, 1893 – May 3, 1961) was an American film producer associated with the Hollywood studio First National Pictures.
  • Between 1923 and 1930, he was married to Colleen Moore, one of the highest-paid and most popular stars of the silent era.
  • McCormick initially was unconvinced by the development of sound films and vetoed Moore's appearing in them.
  • He changed his mind in 1929 and placed Moore in her first talkie, Smiling Irish Eyes, which was not a great success.
  • 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).
