Hollywood's Golden Age refers to a period from the late 1920s to the early 1960s when the American film industry flourished. This era was characterized by the dominance of major studios like Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Warner Bros., and Paramount Pictures, which produced a high volume of films that became cultural landmarks. The introduction of sound in films, known as "talkies," revolutionized the industry, leading to the creation of iconic movies and stars. During this time, many legendary actors and actresses emerged, including Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn, and James Stewart. The Golden Age also saw the rise of various film genres, such as musicals, westerns, and film noir. The influence of this era is still felt today, as many classic films continue to be celebrated and studied for their artistic and cultural significance.
