This website was created by the De Mille Foundation to provide information about Cecil B. DeMille and his artists on an ongoing basis. The project was endowed by Cecilia de Mille Presley, trustee of the De Mille Foundation. The project was supervised by Helen Cohen, Curator of the De Mille Foundation.

The website was designed and developed by Danica Bergagnini of Unnaturally Geisha Studios, Inc. 

Web content was written by Mark A. Vieira. He also researched, restored, and formatted the images.

We thank the artists and scholars who created the original DeMille website. Anastasia Popovaskaia designed the site. John Flynn researched history and contributed design. Lisa Mitchell researched and wrote content, including the Legacy essay that formed the basis of the current essay. The late Robert S. Birchard wrote much of the content, and his encyclopedic knowledge of DeMille’s career informed that site.

We credit the individuals, institutions, organizations, and companies who helped us continue the work of our book Cecil B. DeMille: The Art of the Hollywood Epic (2014, Running Press-Perseus).
