John Woolf and James Woolf of Romulus Films
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir John Woolf (March 15, 1913, London – June 28, 1999, London) and James Woolf (1919, London – 29 May 1966) were two distinguished British film producers.
They founded the production companies Romulus Films and Remus Films, which were active during the 1950's and 1960's. Sir John Woolf and James Woolf were the sons of the British producer C. M. Woolf (1879 - 1942). Jimmy groomed the actor Laurence Harvey for stardom.
James Woolf died on 29 May 1966, a suicide according to the Internet Movie Database. "As a teenager, he started out living with Hermione Baddeley, a blowsy star of intimate revue more than twice his age. Then he married Margaret Leighton, old enough to be his mother, but a woman of style. When this marriage was over, he married Joan Cohn, widow of Harry Cohn, managing director of Columbia Studios. Throughout all these career marriages, he still managed to string Jimmy Woolf along."
