SYNOPSIS: Behind Hollywood is a reality far from the fantasy world it often evokes - the reality of a multi-million-dollar business. For many years the business of Hollywood was in the secure grip of a handful of corporate moguls like Sam Goldwyn, Louis B.Mayer and the Warner brothers, but with the demise of the studio system Hollywood was plunged into a state of strife. Competition between studio bosses, agents, directors, marketing experts, producers, stars and writers was intensified as a result of the instability of the film industry and eventually a new, precarious order came into being. Today it is still a handful of powerful people who dominate Hollywood and the motion picture business - men like Steven Spielberg, Sydney Pollack, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Clint Eastwood, Oliver Stone and Martin Scorsese, and the occasional woman like Lynda Obst and Debra Hill.
