Billy Wilder, Kirk Douglas, very talented, but check out their birth names vs stage names. There is a hint about the history of Hollywood there, as well as the power of such names as the again granted very talented, Spielberg.
For many decades, Hollywood was a pretty closed system, but it wasn’t just “white”.
But it must also be recognized that profits have exceeded the need for quality, for quite some time. The “good stuff” has mostly garbage to rise above today.

Show business is complicated. I do not have the required prerequisites. I fail.
