A Brief History of Hollywood

Image by Profound Whatever
The audience’s fascination with the recurring actors and actresses onscreen helps establish the first incarnation of the star system. With a bevy of successful films under their belts, Pickford and Chaplin negotiate higher salaries and cuts from merchandising revenue. To counter the increasing costs of performers, in 1915 William Fox manufactures his own movie star, Theda Bara (an anagram of “Arab death”). Nicknamed “the Vamp” and touted as the love child of a French artist and his Egyptian mistress, mysterious Bara entrances and titillates audiences as an exotic, sensual femme fatale – despite being little more than the Cincinnati-born daughter of a Jewish tailor. Bara’s persona was entirely manufactured, but it did the trick: audiences ate her up.

Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, has a mural depicting its history. While I would love to work on this kind of project, I cannot imagine that talent it takes!
