Hollywood’s Unwritten Code - Invidious

Hollywood’s Unwritten Code

Welcome to Hollywood's Unwritten Code, a fully owned media property. All content is original and produced exclusively by our team.

We tell the stories Old Hollywood kept off the screen: how the studios remade their stars' faces, hair, voices and names, the illnesses and secrets they hid on set, and what happened to the people behind the legends of the 1930s, 40s and 50s.

Most of us grew up with these faces, at the Saturday matinee or on the late movie with our mothers. We knew the films. We never knew what it took to make the star.

Our Production Process:
Research & Scripting: every story is researched from film-history archives, studio records, published biographies and interviews, then written and fact-checked by our team.
Visual Production: every video is illustrated and edited in-house.

New stories Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Subscribe, and tell us in the comments which star you want us to look into next.
