My Take

Cecil B. DeMille is, to my mind, one of the architects of Hollywood itself. Across 70 features from 1914 to 1958, he taught audiences that film could deliver scale and spectacle no other medium could match. What impresses me is not just the grandeur of epics like The Ten Commandments, but his endurance, surviving the seismic shift from silent to sound while staying at the very front of the industry. A Golden Globe award carries his name, which tells you how the business regarded him. I see him as a founding force whose appetite for ambition set the template later showmen would chase.
