“I’ve heard stories about Hitchcock. Come on, we all know women were forced to submit to casting couch stuff to get roles back then.”

Hollywood still does. The casting couch is alive and well.

And there are many nearly pathologically ambitious wannabe's of both sexes and all persuasions who are more than willing to submit if it means possibly snagging a role. Maybe it was all innocence some time in the distant past, but not since the 1920s at least.

I read years ago that Otto Preminger used the casting couch on several film projects.
