George Remus
George Remus (November 14, 1874 – January 20, 1952) was a Cincinnati lawyer and bootlegger during the Prohibition era. It has been claimed that he was the inspiration for the title character Jay Gatsby in ''The Great Gatsby'' by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
==Early life==
Remus was born in Germany in 1874. Remus' family moved to Chicago by the time Remus was 5. At age 14 George supported the family by working at a pharmacy because Remus' father was unable to work. Remus later bought the pharmacy by age 19.
Within 5 years, Remus expanded, buying another drugstore. Remus soon tired of the pharmacy business and by 24, Remus became a lawyer.
On July 20, 1899, Remus married Lillian Klauff. Their daughter, born in 1900, was Romola Remus, who became a child actress in silent films, playing cinema's first Dorothy Gale in the 1910 version of ''The Wizard of Oz'' when she was just 8.
