Movie actors were what Jeans are to fine clothes, just second choice. The real thing was Theater. So it did start in the Thirties when Cinema became fashionable. In the mean time the facility and vulgarity ( often ) offered by movies have swept over the classical stage. Like pop music over classical. These did happen in the late Fities, whose children we still are.
Movies actors are the " illegitimes " children of theater actors.
Look at the history in England or Germany or France, and of course, of America too, on this field.
