Utilizing talent scouts, many studios searched Broadway and other avenues to find new stars (“The Hollywood Studio System during the Golden Age”, n.d.) that they could groom and contract on behalf of their studios. Most of the contracts we for a period of seven years and had an option for revocation in the first 6 months (“The Hollywood Studio System during the Golden Age”, n.d.)

He spends the rest of the novel analyzing her life and reflecting on her reasoning for her pursuit of a wealthy man. While I enjoyed the book and movie respectively, there were quite a few things changed with the adaptation. First off, the movie was jumped ahead into the 60’s while the book takes place in the 1940’s. They do however, both take place in Manhattan.
