Intermission - Casting couch?

I can remember when people would talk about this actress or that one getting a role ina movie because of Hollywood's infamous "casting couch". I'm pretty sure I don't have to go into all the sordid details of what that really means. However, while the casting couch may still exist, today's actresses and actors are much more savvy about the business of movies and sign deals while sitting at conference tables, with plenty of witnesses present. I like the fact that they are brighter and work with better business sense in today's Hollywood.
