Hollywood Year in 1968 A Glamour Year of Scandal and Change
In 1968 Hollywood saw Cary Grant accused by his wife of abuse amid LSD rumors while his popularity endured. The industry pushed a million-dollar-per-picture fee as a new status symbol and expanded adult content with nudity and freer censorship. Lucid shifts included Barbra Streisand joining the elite, Van Ness Redgrave anti American tours, and public figures debating violence on screen amid industry reform. The year closed with reflections on Beatle imagery, Katharine Hepburns Oscar, and a banner for 1969.
