MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Every year more than 45 million people pass through Miami International Airport. No other entity in the State of Florida produces more revenue than MIA – not even Disney World can touch the $31 billion the airport generates a year.

Walking in the halls of the Baltimore School for The Arts, Dyer knows there’s great history in the building, but she was reluctant to admit she’s now part of the illustrious history. For this film student, her entry was about women in 1920s Hollywood. “I saw this article from a book back in the 20s that described Hollywood in the filmmaking industry as a Manless Eden because it was so dominated by women,” Dyer said. “So I was really surprised that it was ever known as something that was a women’s place to be working and an artistic place that was making a lot of money.

(CNN) Woody Allen didn't cooperate with "Allen v. Farrow," a four-part HBO docuseries that goes beyond tabloid headlines in examining the director's relationship with Mia Farrow and sexual-assault allegations by their daughter Dylan. Extensive access to the Farrows makes this an intimate look at that history, while renewing questions about separating art from the artist and Hollywood's embrace of problematic figures.
