While enjoying the fine dining, Tommy casually heard some interesting Hollywood anecdotes from Herbert, the Vice Chairman of Warner's Board of Directors.
In the eyes of the outside world, Hollywood is filled with freedom, inclusivity, and a constellation of stars, home to hundreds of film companies, large and small, and the sacred land of movie art for countless men and women who dream of becoming stars.
But in the eyes of the real Hollywood magnates, it isn't so crowded; in fact, there are not even six major companies, only two major groups.
According to many business magazines, the six major companies of Hollywood today are Universal, Warner, Paramount, Columbia, and Fox.
Aside from the first five, the sixth spot is subject to varying opinions; some magazines hail Disney as the sixth major film company, while others insist that MGM deserves to be among the top six.
