Back in the “studio era” up through the 50s they used to!

Usually they had deals for a certain number of movies signed with a particular studio for a yearly salary. But kinda like in sports, actors would get signed young and would realize how much money studios would make off of them and “free agency” began where they started negotiating deals per movie.
