The Grove Book of Hollywood
(eBook)
Description
The Orlando Sentinel described The Grove Book of Hollywood as a marvelous overview of the mythical world of Screenland through the eyes of those who observed it firsthand. In pieces by bemused outsiders like P. G. Wodehouse and Evelyn Waugh and consummate insiders like Jack Warner, Ben Hecht, and Budd Schulberg, it tells the story of Hollywood's birth as a dusty village outside L.A., through the blacklist, to its present-day role as a high-stakes cultural capital of power players, touchy egos, schlock, and genius. Full of priceless bits - Jean Harlow's satire of young hopefuls, John Huston's fistfight with Errol Flynn, Frank Capra on working for Mack Sennett, and William Goldman on the ubiquitous Hollywood meeting - The Grove Book of Hollywood is a must for anyone who loves movies.
