Description

Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text to The Hollywood Beauties by James Robert Parish. When it came to beautiful women, the Hollywood movie industry had more that most other places in the world. To be beautiful was to have a chance to become a Star. So gorgeous women by the tens of thousands poured into Hollywood, sure that in a short time they'd be Tinseltown's hottest new discovery. Of all these thousands, perhaps a hundred or so made it. Among these, seven, in the opinion of the author, are outstanding for their beauty. This volume is devoted to them: the seven gossiped about, envied Beauties of Hollywood's Golden Age. -Elizabeth Taylor: violet eyes, black hair, the perfect face. "[I] have never seen such beauty in my life." --1st husband Nicky Hilton -Grace Kelly: cool, blonde, regal-looking. "I think the subtlety of her sex appeals to me." --filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock -Kay Francis: tall, dark, sultry. 'The first great vamp of the talking pictures" --Photoplay -Ava Gardner: black hair, green eyes. "I was obsessed with her." --actor Walter Chiari -Jean Harlow: the original blonde bombshell. "The sexiest-looking girl I've ever seen." --Ralph Wheelwright, MGM -Dolores Del Rio: the ultimate in Mexican aristocracy. "I used to follow her around . . . just to admire her." --moviemaker/actor Orson Welles -Lana Turner: blonde hair, blue eyes, "the sweater girl." Breathtaking . . . perilously lovely." --Theodore Strauss, New York Times Inquisitive audiences have always kept a close watch on these particular classic silver screen Beauties. Here, in seven revealing portraits are expansive accounts of their colorful lives and impressive acting careers. This volume, which includes detailed filmographies of these Hollywood sensations, is a testament and major reference source to these iconic film stars.
