This was especially true for women in the heyday of the studio system\, a period from the 1920s to the 1950s when a small number of companies dominated the production and distribution of films in America. It was an industry controlled by male studio executives\, in which directors and producers called the shots and contract players had little say in which roles they would play. Still\, a trailblazing group of actresses forged successful careers out of sheer conviction\, perseverance\, and professional know-how. These spirited women captivated audiences\, shaped the film industry\, and remain enduring icons of classic cinema. \nThis virtual event is for the FIT community only. \n JOIN VIA THE FIT AUTHORS WEBSITE URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/fit-authors-talk-raissa-bretana-on-moxie-the-daring-women-of-classic-hollywood/ LOCATION:Virtual event CATEGORIES:Conversation,Online Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.fitnyc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/bretana-event.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Jennifer Brady%2C Gladys Marcus Library":MAILTO:jennifer_brady@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251023T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251023T130000 DTSTAMP:20260416T022205 CREATED:20251013T195337Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251013T195337Z UID:10007798-1761220800-1761224400@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:LinkedIn Workshop with Career and Internship Services DESCRIPTION:Career and Internship Services (CIS) career counselors will guide you through the process of building a branded LinkedIn profile.
