I think there were movie critics back then, but not as well known as todays.
Some famous people were: Shirley Temple, Katherine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Clark Gable, Charlie Chaplin, Jean Harlow, and much more.

Hope I helped!

Firstly, Howard Hughes was a famous aviator, hence the film, he was also a film producer and in later years he became a hypochondriac to the extent that he was a total clean freak. Pre Bill Gates he was also the richest man in the world. He was never an actor.
Movie critics have been around since the days of the silent movies which were overtaken by 'talkies' towards the end of the 1920's.
Some famous stars of the 1930's included Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Charlie Chaplin, (one of the few who managed the transfer to talkies), Clark Gable, Myrna Loy, Shirley Temple, Mae West, Laurel and Hardy, The Marx Brothers, William Powell, W.C. Fields, Errol Flynn, Greta Garbo, (I want to be alone), George Burns and Gracie Allen, Judy Garland, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Mickey Rooney, Cary Grant, James Stewart, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Al Jolson, Glenn Miller, Count Basey, Cole Porter, Johnny Weissmuller (Tarzan) to name just a few.
Hope this helps.

I'm sure there were movie critics in the 30's, I just don't have a name for you. You may find one in the bios of some of the stars of that era.

Here is a website that gives you a list. Clark Gable I know was one. :)

Howard Hughes was a huge movie star in the 1930's. Do you remember the movie Leonardo starred in a couple of years ago called Aviator? Well his character was Howard Hughes. I also think that the Wizard of Oz was filled some time in the 30's, and Judy Garland was quite a big star; also Shirley Temple and Charlie Chaplan.
