Jules C. Stein

Dr. Jules C. Stein (April 26 1896 – April 29 1981) was an American musician, physician, and business leader.

He was born in South Bend, Indiana to a Hasidic Jewish family. Later in his life, he converted to Christianity. Stein received degrees from the University of Chicago and Rush Medical College. He founded the Music Corporation of America (MCA) in 1924.

Stein and his wife Doris founded the Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA in the 1960s.

He died in Los Angeles, aged 85.

His widow, Doris J. Stein, founded the Doris J. Stein Foundation in Beverly Hills, California. Doris Stein, and her daughter, Mrs. Susan Shiva, both died from breast cancer the same year (1984) within months of each other.

Dr. Stein was the father of author/editor Jean Stein and the grandfather of the noted journalist and television personality Katrina vanden Heuvel, who publishes "The Nation" ( [https://www.ascrs.org/Awards/Jules-Stein-MD.cfm] ).
