Film historian Tony Maietta joins WIRED to answer the internet's burning questions about the old days of Hollywood and the U.S. film industry. When did the "golden age" of Hollywood begin and end? Why is the US film industry based mostly in Los Angeles? When were the first Oscars? Why was Marilyn Monroe such a transcendent star? What impact did Charlie Chaplin have on the art of film? Did silent film stars bother to learn their lines? Answers to these questions and plenty more await on Old Hollywood Support.
