Who was the actress sure her initials were T B.. Belief she was more famous for her antics off screen than on.

Pretty sure there wasn't much she wasn't into...

Thinking Tamara Bankhead... Buts it's not right..

Is it aimed at a certain decade ? As for me I’d say for my age the late 70s and the80s was good era perhaps not golden but some brilliant films and actors and actresses came out in them decades

Who? I can't think of any.

The only thing I do remember from that time was cinema's closing left right and centre and the Golan Globus rubbish that was churned out for the emerging home video market.

loads of classics like I said it could be an age thing and my age I’m probably more inclined to think of films of that era although i do have a thing for Dorris day as my gran loved her and as for your cinemas closing down perhaps it had its day and home video was seen as the future now look at how we view our films

The golden age of cinema is defined as a technical and narrative style characteristic of film from 1917 to 1960. During the Golden Age of Hollywood, which lasted from the end of the silent era in American cinema in the late 1920s to the early 1960s, thousands of movies were issued from the Hollywood studios.

Yes home video was seen as the future back then and some of the old "flea pit" cinemas were long overdue a visit from the bulldozer.

However the home video market pretty much caught Hollywood on the hop.

Movie making had been in decline for years and, with a few notable exceptions (the first Star Wars for example) Hollywood was making very little when compared to "the golden era" Then suddenly there were video rental shops springing up almost on every street corner and desperate for movies.

Into this breech stepped Golan Globus (AKA Cannon Films) who were, at their peak, producing a new movie almost every week and were by far the largest production company of the time.

They were all low budget and most would have been classed as B movies during the golden era.

OK they did give us Chuck Norris, Jean Claude Van Damme, and resurrected Charles Bronson's fading career but that was about as good as it got.
