The movie contract that launched him and started his fall
In this episode, we trace the early life and career of Douglas Fairbanks Jr., from a fragmented childhood and thirteen-year-old Paramount contract to rising roles that separated him from his father's shadow. We follow the choices, contracts, relationships and wartime pivot that shaped who he became - and ask what success cost him.

- At 13, Jesse L. Lasky of Paramount offered Fairbanks Jr. a three-year, $1,000-per-week contract for Stephen Steps Out despite his father's public opposition.
