Gloria Swanson
... that actress Gloria Swanson (pictured) created an inventions and patents company to employ refugee scientists whom she and her then former husband Marquis Henry de La Falaise helped escape from Nazi Germany?
Source: She kept hearing about the scientists stuck in Nazi Germany and began to hatch a plan: what if she could create a company that would employ both refugee inventors and herself? In no time Swanson convened a board of directors, all men with industry experience, and Multiprises,her least likely entrepreneurial adventure, was born. She sent an envoy to Berlin in search of scientists who needed employment—and a way out. (former husband [Marquis de La Coudraye]) Henri de la Falaise ...living in France, came to Gloria’s aid, graciously providing a Paris office for the new company’s “headquarters.” He wrote letter after letter assuring the authorities that Multiprises guaranteed jobs for the four Viennese inventors Swanson’s envoy located. By the time their temporary US visas expired, the inventors were in New York, Multiprises was up and running, and the US was at war with Germany. Multiprises provided financing and marketing for the group’s inventions, eventually patenting parts used in manufacturing, recording, appliances, automobiles, and musical instruments ... with military applications as well.Welsch, Tricia (2013).
