William Flaherty was the youngest of five children of immigrants from Ireland. Photo: Flaherty FamilyWhen Gulf & Western Industries, the owner of Paramount Pictures, wanted to put more of its focus on Hollywood in the early 1980s, William E. Flaherty was eager to buy one of the less-glamorous parts of Charles Bluhdorn’s conglomerate: a processor of zinc. The deal was an early example of the 1980s wave of leveraged buyouts.

Michael Brescia developed a lifesaving method of connecting kidney patients to dialysis machines. Photo: Calvary HospitalIn the early 1960s, Michael Brescia and a colleague, James Cimino, invented a lifesaving procedure to connect dialysis machines to people with failing kidneys. Their method—which involves joining an artery and a vein to allow rapid flows of blood into and out of the body—became a standard in medical care. Investors were eager to help the two doctors set up dialysis centers that could have cashed in on the technology. “I was 33 years old, and this was going to make me rich,” Dr. Brescia said later.

Eugene Kohn led KPF as president until 2003 and remained chairman until early this year. Eugene Kohn’s timing didn’t seem ideal when he launched a New York-based architecture firm in 1976. Mr. Kohn estimated that nearly 60% of architects in the New York area were out of work. During an economic lull, it also was easy to make appointments with people likely to need his services eventually. After a slow start, his Kohn Pedersen Fox firm established itself within two decades as a major international contender.
