- Summary
- "You are holding one of the most attractive and interesting books on Hollywood ever published. This combination of photographs and stories about the legendary stars is a movie fan's dream come true. Here are hundreds of images of all the greats, from Theda Bara to Cher ---- with John Engstead's lively stories about what goes on in the photographic studios of Hollywood. He reveals the techniques used by the stars to achieve their particular 'looks' ----- how they did their hair and makeup, how they dressed. And we learn what the world's greatest movie idols were (and are) really like. Also included are dozens of 'before-and-after' shots of stars like Joan Crawford, Gary Cooper, and Cary Grant ---- in the 1930s and again in the 60s and 70s."
