This month: Hollywood's Dark History by Matt MacNabb
The dawning of the 19th Century brought with it a new era for entertainment.Vaudeville was the preferred method of entertainment until the popularization of the silent film. This new medium proved to be a draw for many of the stars of the Vaudevillian stage and soon they migrated to the exciting possibilities that movies had to offer. Audiences were instantly enthralled and captivated by the stars of the silent screen. The early days of Hollywood were full of glamour and a new found decadence. The stars in these films were instantly catapulted to fame and fortune and the spotlight of the public eye. The real people behind the glamour were far different than the characters that audiences came to know and love and much like Hollywood today the lives of the stars were often full of scandal and debauchery.
