1. 1. The Golden Hour

   A Story of Family and Power in Hollywood

   

   Matthew Specktor uses his childhood in a Hollywood household and his later work as a studio executive and screenwriter to trace how the American film industry changed over the past seventy‑five years. Mixing memoir and cultural history, he interweaves family stories with episodes involving agents, studio heads, artists, unions, and corporations to show how Hollywood shifted from a cultural center to a global business and how that shift intensified tensions between art, labor, and capital.
