Welcome to Hollywood's Golden Age

A unique reference site for detailed information on movies and stars of a unique era. Browse hundreds of Hollywood movies, actors, actresses and directors!



Hollywood's Golden Age started with the first Talkies in 1927 and lasted about 30 years up to the late 1950's when popular television began to change society's viewing habits. The Golden Age incorporates the glamour, the style, the sex-appeal, the talent, and the sheer razamatazz of an era which produced many great films, great directors and some of the greatest stars ever to grace the screen.

You will find on these pages no modern stars or films. The criteria for inclusion is that the movies must have been started before 1960 and the stars must either be deceased or have a career start before 1950.

The Movie business has changed just as we, the audience have changed. Hollywood's Golden Age will never come back.... But we can still enjoy it.
