Career
DeMille directed dozens of silent films, including Paramount Pictures' first production, The Squaw Man (1914), which was co-directed by Oscar Apfel, before coming into huge popularity during the late 1910s and early 1920s, when he reached the apex of his popularity with such films as Don't Change Your Husband (1919), The Ten Commandments (1923), and The King of Kings (1927).

Though most commonly referred to by the press as DeMille with a capital "D", DeMille used "deMille" with a small "d" for his personal dealings. DeMille's business address for most of his career was 2010 DeMille (capital "D") Drive, Hollywood, California (which is actually in the adjacent Los Angeles neighborhood of Los Feliz). Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West Los Feliz, also Rancho Los Feliz ("Feliz Ranch" is a district of the City of Los Angeles California, named for its land grantee José Vicente Feliz He used the small "d" for private correspondence and the capital for his business and film dealings. In either case, the persona of the larger than life showman was reinforced by such affectations and his status as an icon thrived.
Cecil B. DeMille had a keen eye for talent and was known for being an instrumental catalyst for the rising status of many a struggling or unknown actor. Actor Richard Dix's best-remembered early role was in the silent version of DeMille's The Ten Commandments.

Richard Cromwell, born LeRoy Melvin Radabaugh ( -) was an American actor
DeMille displayed a loyalty to certain supporting performers, casting them over and over in his pictures. They included Henry Wilcoxon, Julia Faye, Joseph Schildkraut, Ian Keith, Charles Bickford, Theodore Roberts, Akim Tamiroff, and William Boyd. Harry "Henry" Frederick Wilcoxon ( September 8, 1905 &ndash March 6, 1984) was an actor born in Dominica, British Julia Faye ( 24 September 1893 - 6 April 1966) was a motion picture actress from Richmond Virginia.

DeMille also had a reputation for being a tyrant on the set, and he despised actors who were not willing to take physical risks; such was the case with Victor Mature in Samson and Delilah, when Mature refused to wrestle the lion, though the lion was tame and had had its teeth pulled. Victor Mature ( 29 January 1913 – 4 August 1999) was an American Film actor. Samson and Delilah ( 1949) is a film made by Paramount Pictures, produced and directed by Cecil B (DeMille remarked that Mature was "100% yellow").

DeMille's Lux Radio Theater, which was one of the most popular dramatic radio shows at the time.
