Crew bios are a fairly recent development.

Not sure when bios started, but I think by the 1930s. I'd have to do a bit more searching around than I feel like doing right now.

But at first fairly few people got bios. In the 1960s, more people generally started getting bios. I'm not sure when it became common to have bios for every member of the cast of a big musical, but it wasn't before the 1980s.
