Spyros P. Skouras was an American movie executive who was the chairman of the Twentieth Century Fox from 1942 to 1962. He resigned June 27, 1962 effective September 30. An immigrant to America from Greece, his accent was so pronounced that Bob Hope would joke "Spyros has been here twenty years but he still sounds as if he's coming next week." Spyros oversaw the production of such epics as "Cleopatra" with Elizabeth Taylor, as well as the creation of Century City. Wikipedia
