The Founder, a biographical drama film directed by John Lee Hancock, tells the story of the creation of the McDonald’s fast-food chain. The movie follows the story of Ray Kroc, played by Michael Keaton, and his creation of one of the most successful fast food operations in the world. Linda Cardellini stars as Joan Smith, the McDonald’s CEO’s third wife. When Smith and Kroc first met, both were married to their spouses. Kroc had said in his autobiography that he was “stunned by her blond beauty,” and the two carried on a secret affair until they both divorced their spouses and married in 1969.
