The studios may compete for stars and Oscars, but their corporate parents view wth one another in less glamorous markets such as cable, home video, and pay-TV. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoney, though, is only a small part of the Hollywood story; the social and political milieus–power, prestige, and status–tell the rest. Alongside its remarkable financial revelations and incisive profiles of the pioneers who helped build Hollywood, \u003ci\u003eThe Big Picture\u003c\/i\u003e is filled with eye-opening insider stories.
