Over more than a hundred years Hollywood has been the leading producer of entertainment having to reinvent itself from time to time. Just imagine the shock when the first "talkies" appeared, the advent of television, new attractions or a financial crisis. Hollywood always found an answer and even today blockbusters still beat any other form of entertainment as we are being told by Denise Mann, head of the UCLA producers programme and Dona Harris, editor in chief of Womenwire.

Behind the glitter, all was not always rosy in Hollywood. The Great Depression that hit America in the late 20s was a way for the major studios to cut production costs, despite ever-increasing profits. Writers, actors and technicians, everyone was affected. That's when Hollywood employees decided to go on strike and form unions to defend their rights against the Big Five.This led, in 1933, to the creation of the Screen Actor Guild, which still exists today, and which is currently defending its rights, which are becoming increasingly precarious in the age of streaming. The union was supported by Hollywood greats such as James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall and Katharine Hepburn.
