During Hollywood's Golden Age a small group of big movie studios dominated the industry, controlling every aspect of films, from production to distribution in what is known as the Studio System.
One of the main characteristics during these years, was that movie stars worked under long-term contracts for a major studio. Most of their projects were chosen by them as the studio made them work in the films that they considered suited them better.
The studio system started to fall apart in 1948 after it was challenged in the Supreme Court to separate production and distribution under antitrust laws.
The wide availability of television, starting in the 1950's, finally provided actors a means to break free of long term contracts.
Looking back at those years in film history, which of the 7 major studios in Hollywood's Golden Age had the best line-up of actors working for them?
