Dan Glickman cheers as ratings turn 40


September 10, 2008 MPAA chairman and CEO Dan Glickman on Wednesday lauded the movie ratings system in the U.S., which turns 40 on Nov. 1, as "synonymous with the First Amendment ... with political, artistic and creative expression in this country."

Glickman also recounted the various updates the ratings system has gone through over the decades, such as the addition of PG-13 in 1984 and the recent introduction of information on smoking.
