Ask anyone to list the Ten Most Famous People movie stars making it than you`d expect. of the Twentieth Century and you`ll find more part of modern mythology. Monroe, Crosby, Chaplin, Garbo-they`re all

Brando earning over $34 million for his 10-minute cameo in Superman, Mae West discussing the life in her men, Bogart getting Sam to play it again, Veronica Lake changing her hairstyle to cut down on accidents in munitions factories, La Davis warning it`s going to be a bumpy ride: the cinema is a potent amalgam of image, fact, and gossip which somehow touches most of our lives.

Jeremy Pascall`s lively look at Hollywood over 50 years of commercial movie-making zeroes in on the stars who have always drawn audiences and the films which were their vehicles. Decade by decade, starting in 1930, he analyses industry trends and thumbnails the careers of the great and favourite stars. Other English-speaking sections of the industry (Britain`s Hammer horror in the Fifties or Australia`s breakthrough in the Seventies, for instance) feature where they gain international significance.

Pascall`s real ability to recreate the actuality of a performance, to sum up the essence of a performer, and the lavish pictorial coverage (more than 590 illustrations and 144 of them in colour) make this evocative book an outstanding addition to the history of popular cinema.
