The entertainment industry has its roots in the early 20th century, when Hollywood emerged as a major film production hub. The silent film era saw the rise of stars like Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Buster Keaton, who captivated audiences with their physical comedy and expressive performances. The introduction of sound in films marked a significant turning point, with movies like "The Jazz Singer" (1927) revolutionizing the industry.
