Sydney’s ears perked up as she heard “Golden Age of Hollywood”. The professor just said the magic words to hold her attention. That just happened to coincide with her favorite era in history! She sat up a little straighter, listening with rapt attention. As she did so, she stole a quick side glance at the camera, and a question popped into her mind.

That question would have to wait until later. At the moment, she was preoccupied with the professor’s question. Honestly, the first thing Sydney thought of when she heard Hollywood mentioned was scandal… probably the only thing about Hollywood that never changed, no matter what era. There were so many deliciously dark examples she could give, but in the end, she decided to take her answer in a [s]safer[/] different direction.

There were so many things Sydney could say about Hollywood, but she decided to leave the more obvious answers for others. She raised her hand and said, “One thing that comes to mind is censorship. The film industry has had some form of self-censorship since its early days. In the Golden Age, it was the Hays Code, a set of rules for what could and couldn’t be portrayed on screen which lasted from 1934 to 1968. Then it was replaced with the MPAA ratings system.”

Maybe her answer was more specific and overly detailed than the professor wanted, but she didn’t care. She was overeager, ok?!
