Hollywood isn't a place, it's a way of life.
-Helene Hanff (1916-1997)
Lights...
Camera...
Action!
With these words, it is the destiny of men, women, and directors to write their names in the stars as masters of acting and creating talents for the good of money, talent, and fame.
But that is simply one path to fame and fortune in this glamorous hell called the Film Industry. Some good can be done to protect your fellow employees, actors, and cameramen from the vicious studio producers and the powers that be.
This is your story of you... Just one struggling Actor who is trying to make their way into the world, to carve your name into the history of cinema, and beyond.
To become something more. A Legend.
Or just really really rich.

[]The Aftermath: Let the Twenties ROAR to life. Hollywood is on top of the world, it's a dog-eat-dog world in this place, Let's MAKE A MOVIE!! (You begin 1919, The war is over and you have to get off the ground quickly before your studio is destroyed by the sharks in the water of big studios...or go into animation.)
[]The Golden Age of Hollywood: Hays Code, Studio bigwigs wanting a piece of the pie, the Depression and the rise of Stars everywhere, what a time to be alive. (You start in 1934, It's the depression, studio execs are assholes and you are limited...but don't be discouraged, there are ways around the system.)
[]The Studio Collapse: Eventually the Studio's greed caught up to them and things started to break, Animation has entered the dark age. And Things are looking rough.OHH Joe Maccartny got elected into the senate. (The Year is 1952, Hollywood needs a makeover. Don't be a commie. Or don't get caught.)
[]New Hollywood: The Next generation has arrived the Hays code is dead and new horizons are everywhere. (The Year is 1970...New Hollywood and the Era of blockbusters are here.)
[]The Shining Eighties: Anime Craze, Action Films, and Sci-Fi have hit the scene and by golly, we are here to stay. (Its 1980, Synth Music, peppy sounds, and action stars are all the rage.)
[]Nineties Babies: The Eighties have come and gone, with many of the great and over-the-top action movies being thrown to the wayside for more cerebral and... another fare. (It's 1990...you have SO many choices to go down. Maybe you can make video game movies work this time?)
[]The New Millennium: Ahh a fresh start...a new age is about to begin. Perhaps you can carve out a niche in this great world you are in. (It's 2000, pray that things don't get any worse.)
[]Modern Day: It's been a long time since Edison filmed some people in a warehouse, with Modern cinema, the Giants of industry, and a willing population across the world, let's make something of yourself. (The Year is 2022, Let's make some entertainment.)
