FAQ
What dark secrets are there in Hollywood?
Hollywood is filled with secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.
There are other nefarious entities that have a significant influence on the industry. Companies such as the MPAA, which determines film ratings, or the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), that set music licensing fees, are examples of these.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, we should embrace and celebrate them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They are the ultimate arbiters and judges of taste.
They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.
Let's now look at some lesser-known, but still very real Hollywood secret organizations.
Observe why they are important.
Why do actors get blacklisted in the first place?
If you are an actor, you will get more rejection than if you are a writer. You will likely be rejected many times if you are an actor. It doesn't matter if you get rejected a lot because eventually you'll meet someone you love.
Actors can often make a living from acting because they are very talented. But most actors don't want to make a lot of money. Actors enjoy acting and telling stories. Actors are likely to be outspoken.
It is possible to be told that you are not suitable for the role, or that you are too old or too young. Or you might audition for a movie and lose out to another person. It happens all the time.
You may be criticised once your casting is complete. You may be told that your makeup is too heavy or you are not worthy of wearing it. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes, your performance as a fictional character can be ridiculed. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're straight. You might play a tough woman, but she is very emotional.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes they ask you to sound like either a boy or a girl. They want you to sound better most of the time.
The best way to deal with these criticisms is to ignore them. Actors often feel like they've failed if they're told they did something wrong. The truth is they haven’t done anything wrong.
They didn't have the talent to make them famous. Sometimes they don't fit that bill no matter how hard or if they try.
Blacklisting an actor could be for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think actors can be lazy. Still, others say that actors are cheaters.
Whatever your reason, it doesn't matter. You won't get blacklisted for trying. There are many roles available, and you will find them.
If you persevere, you will eventually succeed.
What is your most secretive community?
You might be surprised at the answer. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is a reason that this place exists. It isn't what you would expect.
It was called the City of God by ancient Greeks. It was also called the City of Destruction in the Bible.
It is called Kashi (Kashmir in India). It's also known as Novgorod in Russia.
But here in America, it goes by another name - The Town That Disappeared.
One tiny town in western New York State lost its 1,200 inhabitants without trace. With the exception of a road marker pointing to its former site, there were no remains: cars, bodies, houses.
The little village vanished, with no trace of its existence. Some believe it was swallowed by the earth. Others claim a meteorite strike destroyed it. Still, others say aliens took it away.
Whatever happened, the residents of this once-thriving community are convinced that their town isn't gone forever. They had just relocated to another town.
A website is available to track the disappearance and recovery of Zugspitz, which was lost in the Great Depression.
So where is this town? It's in Switzerland.
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze can be found just beyond the summit.
It's always fascinated me how so many towns disappear, yet others remain. Why do some disappear while others survive? I decided to investigate.
I wanted to know more about the mysterious disappearing towns. What makes a town disappear? What makes a place disappear?
It turns out that there are several theories about the phenomenon of vanishing towns. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory says that the town just moves. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.
Although theories may be a bit speculative, it is a fact that numerous towns have been destroyed by the elements. This video examines both the history and current status.
