Hollywood always had a streak of the totalitarian in just about everything it did. The old moguls were essentially hard-fisted authoritarians who had created a system of linked dictatorships to control the creative people. We were supposed to be the children mad, tempestuous, brilliant, talented, not terribly smart children.
Shirley MacLaine
