Sergey Brin & Larry Page Biography

Sumner Murray Rothstein was born on May 27, 1923, in Boston, Massachusetts. In early adulthood, Redstone attended Harvard University but took a break from his studies during World War II to work as a code cracker for the U.S. army. Following the completion of his B.A. in 1944, Redstone worked in Washington, D.C. and enrolled at Georgetown University Law School before completing his LL.B at Harvard in 1947. That same year, he married Phyllis Gloria Raphael. The couple had two children, Brent Dale and Shari Ellin, but would later divorce in 2002. Redstone remarried in 2003 to schoolteacher Paula Fortunato.

After law school Redstone worked as a Special Assistant to the U.S. Attorney General with a brief stint in the San Francisco branch of the U.S. Department of Justice. He gave up a career in law in 1954 to join National Amusements, a movie theater management company run by his father. Breaking from the traditional business operations of National Amusements, Redstone turned his family company into a budding empire by investing into top motion picture studios such as Columbia, Twentieth-Century Fox, and Paramount Pictures. He would go on to be named both President and CEO of National Amusements in 1967.
