(via TumbleOn)Pre-Code Hollywood refers to the era in the American film industry between the introduction of sound in the late 1920s and the enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code (usually labeled, albeit inaccurately after 1934, as the “Hays Code”) censorship guidelines. Although the Code was adopted in 1930, oversight was poor and it did not become rigorously enforced until July 1, 1934. Before that date, movie content was restricted more by local laws, negotiations between the Studio Relations Committee (SRC) and the major studios, and popular opinion than strict adherence to the Hays Code, which was often ignored by Hollywood filmmakers.
As a result, films in the late 1920s and early 1930s included sexual innuendo, miscegenation, profanity, illegal drug use, promiscuity, prostitution, infidelity, abortion, intense violence and homosexuality.

(via TumbleOn)Tallulah Bankhead and Tennessee Williams…
What was she reaching for…Things that make you go hmmm…Except in Tallulah’s case…
I probably shared this anecdote already, but my friend’s grandfather was a stagehand in New York City (my home!) in the 1940s/50s. Anyway, he worked on one of Tallulah’s plays - and I can’t remember which, maybe The Little Foxes? - anyway, he would see her naked all the time from a vantage point above her dressing room. That and because she was just sort of indiscriminately naked regardless of where she was and who was around…
He was also a stagehand on Antony and Cleopatra, and my friend’s mom has a photo autographed by both Vivien Leigh and Sir Laurence Olivier…Which I am dying to have. Especially because neither of them care particularly about it…He said Vivien was lovely.
