  • サマリー

  • The golden age of silent films wasn’t all glitz and glamour—it masked the harsh realities that actors faced behind the scenes. From grueling work schedules to exploitative contracts, the early 20th-century studio system wielded immense control over performers’ professional and personal lives. Without the protection of a union, actors endured long hours, unfair pay cuts during the Great Depression, and suffocating multi-year contracts that dictated every aspect of their careers. This atmosphere of control extended into the social realm, giving rise to the theory of “lavender marriages”—arranged unions designed to preserve public personas in the face of societal scrutiny. In a world where every move was orchestrated, creating the Screen Actors Guild in 1933 became the long-awaited answer to years of silent struggles and marked a turning point in Hollywood's labor history.
