Good point.
They also went to New York and recruited talent from Broadway. Katherine Hepburn was recruited from Broadway. They also gave Lucille Ball her first break.
They started much later than the other studios and were an underdog. They took risks on movies like King Kong and Citizen Kane that other studios wouldn't consider. Orson Wells was a young unknown when he was given the opportunity to direct Citizen Kane. No other studio would have given him the chance.
